TEHRAN, Aug 25 (NNN-IRNA) – Iran’s foreign minister, said that, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will not become more secure, through a recent normalisation deal with Israel, Press TV reported.
“The UAE turned to Israel to buy security, while Israel is unable to keep even itself secure,” Mohammad Javad Zarif was quoted as saying.
“You cannot be secure, if your neighbours are not secure,” Zarif said, adding that, the security of the region should be achieved through close work of the regional states.
Cooperation among regional players would lay a suitable ground for enhanced trade ties and political interaction in the region, which can then be expanded to relations with countries outside the region, he pointed out.
Iran has strongly condemned recent agreement between Israel and the UAE to normalise ties.
On Aug 13, Israel and the UAE reached an agreement, brokered by the U.S., to work towards a “full normalisation of relations.”– NNN-IRNA
