Bakai in response to the Emirates official's statements: The recent crises were the result of over-reliance on the American military presence and a series of attacks / We will not be silent against the use of neighboring lands to attack Iran's sovereignty.
🔹 Ismail Bakkai, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in response to a question regarding the recent claim of the adviser to the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, that Abu Dhabi's trust in Tehran has been denied and that Iran is the reason for this - considering the use of bases and territory of this country on Iran during aggressive attacks by Iran or not destroyed by aggressive attacks: the Islamic Republic of Iran; Instead, in this context, it should be said, "Self-creation is not a strategy", unless the authorities of these countries decide to abandon the past approaches and mistakes of real strategy. The Islamic Republic of Iran cannot in any way remain silent and not give a deterrent response to the misuse of the territory of several countries in the region to attack and directly violate the national sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of its citizens. 🔹 The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained the pathology of the factors of insecurity in the region: what happened in this geography during the last eight months was a direct result of excessive and unmeasured reliance and trust of some governments in the region on the bases and the military presence of the United States in their territory. Unfortunately, some of these countries not only did not prevent the American war machine from using their facilities, space and infrastructure to invade Iran, but in some cases even encouraged and facilitated this attack. It is natural that such behavior destroys the foundations of mutual trust.
Emphasizing the theory of neighborhood and collective security, Bakay noted: the category of trust is a two-way street and requires two-way action and determination in the field of action. The Islamic Republic of Iran has announced many times honestly and in principle that it has no conflict or enmity with any country in the region, and it is our firm belief that achieving stable security and stability can only be achieved through intra-regional cooperation and building collective trust without the intervention of external parties. However, the completely logical, legitimate and unchangeable demand and expectation of the Iranian nation is that the regional governments will not under any circumstances allow the land, airspace and facilities to be used as a platform for attack and conspiracy against a great and historic neighbor.
