TEHRAN, 23 December: The United States cannot undermine the amicable relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, Iranian Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri said on Monday, reports TT (23/12)
Jazayeri made the remarks in response to a U.S. strategic research center’s recent statement claiming that Saudi Arabia, which has purchased weapons from the U.S. worth over $60 billion, can now attack Iran.
Iran has friendly relations with all regional countries and such statements are meant to damage relations between the two important Islamic nations, Jazayeri, who is a senior Islamic Revolution Guards Corps commander, told the Mehr News Agency.
These statements are part of a psychological warfare campaign being waged against Iran, but no country in the region is a threat to any of the others, he stated.
The United States is attempting to generate animosity among regional countries in order serve its own interests, he said.
Officials from Iran and regional Arab states, including Saudi Arabia, address each other as “brother”, but Washington, under various administrations, has always sought to demonize Iran in the eyes of Arabs, especially Saudi officials.
