Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson advised the US government to avoid any provocative, non-constructive, and destabilizing actions in the region, noting that security is a common issue for all Persian Gulf states







Nasser Kanani made the remarks in his weekly press conference on Monday in reaction to the US claims over deploying F-16 fighter jets to the Persian Gulf region, saying that the US government has never played a peaceful and constructive role regarding regional issues.

Iran monitors any illegal and non-constructive action that affects regional security with sensitivity and accuracy, the Iranian diplomat said, adding that the country is sensitive to any provocative and illegal action, especially near its borders, and will pay special attention to it.

Saying that security is a common issue for all Persian Gulf states, he advised the US government to avoid any provocative, non-constructive, and destabilizing actions in the region.

The spokesman also announced that Iran has formally protested to the government of Russia about its recent joint statement with the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council regarding three Iranian trio islands.

Speaking to reporters at a weekly press conference on Monday, Nasser Kanaani dismissed the contents of the joint statement issued after the sixth ministerial meeting of strategic dialogue between Russia and the PGCC.
