Jubeir’s Remarks on Syria’s Future Indecent, Non-diplomatic: Afkham

TEHRAN, (ST)- Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham has criticized the Saudi Foreign Minister’s Adel al-Jubeir’s remarks on the future of Syria describing them as indecent and non-diplomatic.

“Such indecent and non-diplomatic remarks about the future of other nations is the mark of political stalling; unfortunately, this view has plagued some regional countries, such as Yemen and Syria, with organized war and extremism,” Afkham said.

  Afkham’s remarks came in response to recent comments by Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir during his press conference with his German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Riyadh.

Saudi FM unqualified to comment on Iran’s regional role

 The Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman also said that the Saudi foreign minister is not qualified to comment on Iran’s regional role when his country has taken a military approach toward current crises in region, Press TV reported.

“The Saudi foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir whose country has adopted a military, security and extremist approach toward the current regional crises, and has been targeting the neighbor Muslim country of Yemen with relentless bombardment is not qualified to speak of Iran’s regional role,” She clarified.

 Al-Jubeir accused Iran of meddling in the affairs of regional countries and threatened to confront Iran if the Islamic Republic does not give up what he called “continuous aggression” against Saudi Arabia.

“While the international community understands the constructive and stabilizing role of Iran, calling for our further participation, unfortunately the only country who views regional development with a win-lose approach and insists on the exclusion of other countries is Saudi Arabia,” said Afkham, adding that the unconstructive approach is doomed to failure.

“We were hoping that our southern neighbors would put aside such unilateral and unreasonable approaches following the success of the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the 5+1 and the world’s interest to adopt an approach based on comprehensive dialogs to settle regional issues,” said Afkham, adding some countries were still unable to comprehend the realities of regional situation.
