He described the statements made by the Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister at the Arab-Islamic countries meeting “unfair, one-sided” which runs contrary to the requirements of a responsible approach to the regional developments.
"No party can ignore the clear reality that the root cause of the current crisis in the region is the war imposed by the United States and the Zionist regime, and that US and Israel are using military bases and facilities located in regional countries to plan, execute, and support their aggressive actions against Iran."
He noted that under the principles of the UN Charter and international law, including UN General Assembly Resolutions 2625 and 3334, no country is permitted to make its land or facilities available for acts of aggression against another state.
The official reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to the international law and the UN Charter, including principles of good neighborliness, respect for sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
He expressed hope that regional countries would adopt a “rational, responsible, and law-abiding approach” to prevent the United States and Israeli regime from using their territory against Iran, and added that they should not allow “the Zionist regime’s aims of creating rifts and division among Muslim countries to materialize.”
The comments came after an Arab-Islamic summit in Saudi Arabia, following which Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan accused Iran of "premeditated hostile actions" against its neighbors without acknowledging the Islamic Republic's right to retaliation to target the locations used for staging attacks against its soil.
