Foreign forces raise ‘insecurity’ in Gulf: Iran’s Rouhani
TEHRAN, Sept 22, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said on
Sunday that the presence of foreign forces creates “insecurity” in the Gulf,
after the US ordered the deployment of more troops to the region.
“Foreign forces can cause problems and insecurity for our people and for
our region,” Rouhani said in a televised speech at an annual military parade,
adding that Iran would present to the UN a regional cooperation plan for
peace.
