RNA - "The US policy of overt and covert support for the terrorist groups and its wrong assessment of the regional developments have prolonged instability in the Middle-East and North Africa and cause its spread to other regions," Amir Abdollahian said in a meeting with former Italian Prime Minister Massimo D'Alema in Tehran on Wednesday.
"The European countries can help establishment of stability and prevent violence and extremism by distancing themselves from the US wrong policies, gathering a correct understanding of the situation in the region and playing a constructive role," he added.
In relevant remarks last March, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said Washington's wrong policies are the root cause of instability and tensions in the region.
"Incendiarism and current tensions in the region are due to the wrong behavior and interventionist policies of American statesmen in the region," Qassemi said.
He reiterated that the US mistakes are the product of extravagance and lack of a clear understanding of the strategic and sensitive conditions of the Middle East region and the unwavering American support for Tel Aviv regime.
"The history of the US presence in the historical and cultural region is full of irrational and abusive behavior which are the main source of formation of Takfiri terrorism and extremism," he added.
Qassemi pointed to the bitter background of the US wrong policies against the people of the Persian Gulf region, specially Iranians, over the past decade, and said, "The US is the biggest exporter and supplier of advanced weapons and military equipment to certain governments in the region and as such plays a significant and prominent role in the escalation of tensions, crises, warmongering, insecurity and political turmoil in some West Asian countries, the consequences of which can be clearly seen, monitored and judged by the entire world."
