Press TV - The sources of all instability in the Middle East is foreign interference, says Iran’s representative to the United Nations Gholamali Khoshroo.

"A comprehensive review of the situation in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) requires, first and foremost, an examination of its root causes," he said while addressing the UN Security Council on Monday.

"A deep analysis of all causes of conflicts and wars in MENA over the past decades proves that, in most cases, there are common denominators, namely: foreign intervention, foreign interference, foreign occupation or a combination of them," he added.

He further noted that the Tel Aviv regime is the root cause of all the conflicts in the region while enjoying the full support of the Washington.

"The Israeli regime incremental aggressive and expansion policies of this regime and its behavior towards its neighbors is and continues to be the main source of threat to the peace and security in this region," he added.

Khoshroo further noted that terrorism and extremism are both a serious threat to the peace and stability in the region.

"Terrorism and extremism, as a serious threat to peace and security, is much stronger and more spread out in the MENA region today following many invasions by the US and its allies more so than it was in 2001," he noted.
