Tehran, IRNA – Reacting to statement of the 3rd session of US-PGCC Joint Workgroup, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said such statements are in line with old US policy of sowing seeds of discord among regional countries.

Naser Kanaani while rejecting the contents of the statement of the 3rd session of the US-PGCC Joint Workgroup on Islamic Republic of Iran, said that the repetition of boring accusations in that statement while the United States itself is selling billions of dollars of warfare and weapons to the regional countries, supporting the Takfiri terrorists, and continuing its full-scale support for the criminal acts of the Zionist regime against the Palestinians and the devastating war against the Yemeni nation, is the sum up of the devastating US interventions in West Asia and Persian Gulf, that has disturbed regional peace and stability.

The Foreign Ministry spokesman highlighted the Islamic Republic of Iran's belief and commitment to dialogue and diplomacy to resolve regional crises through political talks.

He also referred to Iran's satisfactory and still growing relations with neighboring countries, expressing hope that the regional countries will rely on proper comprehension about the profiteering and hostile intentions of the United States in the region pave the path towards sustainable peace, stability and development of the region.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran continues progressing its peaceful nuclear program while cooperating with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its commitments under the nuclear-Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) protocol, quite constructively, and does not yield to any political pressure, or demonstrative propaganda," he emphasized.
