Abdollahian: NATO is the main cause of crises and wars

Tokyo (ST) – Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian announced that NATO is one of the main causes of wars and crises in the world.

During a press conference in Japan today he stated: “Iran views the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and its provocative measures as the main root of the crisis and war”.

Regarding the nuclear agreement signed with Iran, Abdollahian indicated that the talks that were held with the efforts and mediation of the European Union and the European Union’s foreign policy coordinator Josep Borrell call on all parties to their full commitment to the comprehensive joint action plan.

About his visit to Japan, Amirabdollahian said it is in line with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi’s policy of expanding relations with friendly Asian countries including Japan.

Elsewhere, he highlighted Iran’s defense capabilities have provided the country and the region with better security.

On the accusations about the use of Iranian drones by Russia in the war in Ukraine, the foreign minister said although Tehran and Moscow have had defense cooperation in recent years, the country has never delivered its weapons or drones to Russia for use in Ukraine.
