RNA - "Regional questions should be addressed by the countries of the region themselves," Amir Abdollahian said.

He reiterated that the Syrian crises would have been resolved long ago through diplomatic solutions were it not the sabotages by the US and Saudi Arabia that have supported terrorists.

Amir Abdollahian also said that the problems of other regional countries are also attributed to the foreign interferences.

In a relevant development in Early August, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi condemned the West's stance on the execution of a number of terrorists in Iran, calling it blatant interference in the country’s domestic affairs.

"Instead of adopting double standards on the issue of terrorism, the West has to show serious resolve in bringing together the global community's will and efforts to eradicate Takfiri terrorism, including the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group," Qassemi said.

Qassemi’s remarks came after UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein criticized Tehran for the execution of 20 terrorists, calling it “injustice.” European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini also expressed her concern over the executions.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has always had a resolute policy stance with regard to the fight against terrorism and foreign-backed terrorist groups in the region," the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman said, adding, "Iran is a victim of terrorism, and will spare no effort to ensure the security of its people."
