CharacterizingUS military presence in the region as "a burden on the peoples of theregion and a source of insecurity and division," the statement argued thatAmerican assurances of commitment to GCC security amount to propaganda.Washington's use of regional bases to conduct military aggression against Iranbetween February 28 and April 8, 2026, demonstrated, in its view, that theUnited States disregards the security of neighboring states.
"TheIslamic Republic of Iran will not show any tolerance whatsoever in defendingits sovereignty and the capabilities related to it," the statement read.
The ministryrejected the joint statement's characterization of Palestinian and Lebaneseresistance movements as Iranian proxies, stating that the only entity operatingby proxy in the region is Israel. Palestinian and Lebanese resistance againstoccupation and what it termed apartheid constitutes, in the ministry'sposition, fully legitimate struggle under international law, with all statesobligated to support the right to self-determination.
