Iran calls for resolving Qatar row throw talks
By Trend
Iranian foreign ministry has called on the Arab countries of the
Persian Gulf to keep calm and resolve the recent crisis through
dialogue.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi has expressed
Tehran’s concerns over the recent decision by Saudi allies to cut
their ties with Qatar, IRNA news agency reported.
He warned that the escalation of ties between the regional
countries is not in the national interest of those countries as
extremism threat is growing in the region.
He criticized the decision by the four Arab states about imposing
sanctions on Qatar and described it as “unacceptable”.
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE severed ties with Qatar on
Monday over Doha’s support for the Muslim Brotherhood, the world’s
oldest Islamist movement, and also its ties with Saudis’ arch-rival
Iran, sparking off simmering dispute in the Gulf Cooperation
Council.
The Saudi allies, in the meantime, have announced their plan to
close air and sea transport links to Qatar.
