President Rouhani remarked that “all propaganda about a new coalition in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman are impractical and superficial. Without a doubt, if a part of these propagandas is put into action, they will not be beneficial for the security of the region”. He went on to say that “regional states can ensure the security of the region with unity, integrity and dialogue”. Referring to Israel’s involvement in a U.S.-led maritime security initiative, President Rouhani stated that “the Israelis had better ensure the security of where they are! They have brought about insecurity, massacre and terror wherever they were present”.
