The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran rejected the contents of the statement of the third meeting of the joint working group of the United States and the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran, and considered such statements in line with the long-standing strategy of the American regime in making rift among the countries of the region.

 In this statement, the United States and members of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council expressed concern about Iran's nuclear developments and asked Tehran to fully cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency's inspections.
The Spokesman of Iran' s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Nasser Kanaani rejected the repeated and boring accusations made in the said statement on Thursday night and added " :The sale of billions of dollars of weapons and munitions by the United States to the countries of the region, support for Takfiri terrorism, the continuation of full support for the crimes of the Zionist regime against the oppressed Palestinian nation and the devastating war of several years against the Yemeni people are the result of destructive and interventionist policies of US in the West Asian region and the Persian Gulf which have disturbed the stability and security of the region".
 
The diplomat pointed to the Islamic Republic of Iran's belief and responsible commitment to regional diplomacy and the end of crises through a political solution, as well as the favorable and growing relations of the Islamic Republic of Iran with neighboring countries, and expressed hope that the countries of the region, with a correct understanding of the intentions of US' evil policies in the region, take a step towards peace and security and sustainable development of the region.
