Zarif: Iran will face any economic, military war efforts strongly
Tehran will defend itself against any war efforts, be they
economic or military, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif said,
according to Iraqi TV during a visit to Baghdad on Sunday.
“We will defend against any war efforts on Iran be they
economic or military and we will face them strongly,” the foreign minister
said.
Zarif also said that Iran has a desire to build “balanced
relations with all Gulf states”.
He added that Iran proposed signing a non-aggression pact
with neighboring Gulf countries.
Zarif also said Iran has not violated the nuclear agreement,
calling on European states to uphold their commitments, adding that they must
do more to preserve nuclear agreement.
He said that US actions contradict Security Council
resolutions on the use of force.
