According to a senior Iranian official the crises in the Middle East are the result of British "colonial" policies and those of their allies.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi made the comments on Wednesday in response to remarks made by British Prime Minister Theresa May during her trip to Saudi Arabia.
In an interview with al-Riyadh newspaper, May claimed that Iran was creating tensions and insecurity in the region by interfering in the affairs of Arab nations.
While noting that this was not the first time May had made such baseless claims, Qassemi stressed that Iran’s regional policies are undoubtedly aimed at establishing stability and battling terrorism in the region.
"It is know to all that Iran has played a significant role in supporting security, stability and peace in the countries that have been attacked by terrorists and have requested aid from the Islamic Republic," he said.
Qassemi also noted that May’s claims against Iran are made at a time when Britain has supplied millions of dollars worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia, which has been waging a deadly war on Yemen.
sales of weapons and equipment to aggressors for the killing of innocent civilians in the region, especially in the inhuman and unequal war against Yemen, have no correlation with May’s claims [against Iran],” he added.
Saudis started bombing Yemen in March 2015 devastating the country’s infrastructure and killing over 12,000 people in the hope of undermining the Houthi Ansarullah movement.
