Bahram Ghasemi, spokesman of the Iranian foreign ministry described the remarks made by British Prime Minister Theresa May at the Manama session as “uncalculated and divisive.”
“The goal in such remarks is to intensify the crises resulting from their war crimes against the innocent nations of Yemen, Syria, Bahrain, Iraq and other Islamic countries in the region,” he claimed.
May had on Wednesday attended a session of the Gulf Cooperation Council in Manama where she sought to ensure Gulf leaders that she is fully aware of the threats posed by Iran in the Persian Gulf and across the Middle East, adding through their partnership they must stand against Iran’s aggressive measures.
