Iran Foreign Ministry says the US has become the Biggest Threat to World Peace

From [HERE] Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said on Monday that the United States poses the greatest threat to world peace and security, employing a pattern of unilateral use of force and coercion.

In his weekly press conference, the spokesman was asked about Washington's hostile actions against several nations, including Venezuela, following its military deployment in the Caribbean.

"The reality is that the United States, with the behavior it has shown during this time, has become the greatest threat to international peace and security," he asserted.

He added that actions based on threats and the use of force by the United States can be witnessed in every corner of the world. "In the Western Hemisphere, threats against Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and even Brazil and Mexico are constantly repeated by U.S. officials," he noted.

Baqaei also emphasized that the closure or declaration of airspace closure by a country is an unprecedented action, being contrary to all international norms and regulations, as well as regulations related to aviation safety.

Furthermore, he referred to Washington's threats against African countries, "including the declaration that, for example, South Africa has no right to participate in the G20 summit, which constitute another example of this approach."

The spokesman recalled that the US has given unwavering support to the criminal actions committed by Israel in the region.

I support Venezuela in the face of US aggression.

The spokesman reiterated that Iran maintains a relationship with Venezuela based on mutual respect and shared interests, and that Tehran has always expressed "our solidarity with the people and government" of the South American nation.

“We believe that Venezuela is facing an illegal war and threat from the United States government. There is no basis in international law that justifies such action by the United States. The pretext of drugs is nothing more than an excuse,” he asserted. [MORE]
