RNA - Qassemi made the remarks after US Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats claimed of Washington's concern over Iran's influence in the region.

 

"The most immediate threats of regional interstate conflict in the next year come from North Korea and from Saudi-Iranian use of proxies in their rivalry," he claimed.

 

In response on Wednesday, Qassemi underlined that Iran's efforts to create stability and security in the Middle East are unparalleled in the region.

 

He added that such 'repetitive allegations' are distracting and baseless.

 

"Such remarks are result of the US government's policy aimed at producing and spreading threats and fostering fear-mongering in different parts of the world, particularly in the Middle East," Qassemi said.

 

"Such a policy is going to benefit Washington, while destabilizing for the world and the West Asia," he added.

 

Understanding such a policy and standing against it requires prudence and vigilance of all the leaders and people in the region, Qassemi said.

 

According to Fars News Agancy, in relevant remarks last month, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami blasted the US government for supporting Israel and destabilizing the regional countries.

 

"The US has always blamed others for its defeats in various parts of the world and pursued the Zionists' approach to create instability in the region," Brigadier General Hatami said in a telephone conversation with his Pakistani counterpart Khurram Dastagir.

 

The Iranian defense minister, meantime, reiterated that regional developments require both countries and the Islamic world to have further interaction in dealing with global developments.

 

"The rising poppy cultivation and rise of terrorism in Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq and Syria are all rooted in the stupid and evil policies of the US," Brigadier General Hatami said.
