In an interview regarding the US message to Iran, the Iranian ambassador in Kuwait said: The situation in the Red Sea is a result of the current situation in Palestine and is not an independent issue. |
According to the foreign policy group Tasnim news agency, ” Mohammad Tutunchi, the ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Kuwait, told the numerous Kuwaiti newspaper “Al-Qabs” about Yemen that they are implementing their own policies and that the current crises in the world are the product of the wrong policies of America and its associates and they are trying to project as always.
The full text of this interview is as follows:
1. Your response to America’s accusations about Iran supporting the Houthis (Ansarullah) and equipping them with weapons and ammunition?
Tutonchi: These accusations have started since the last forty-odd years and apparently have no end because they implement their own policies in the shadow of these accusations. The current crises in the world are the product of the wrong policies of America and its associates and they are trying to project as always. The support of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the people of Yemen has always been of a political nature. The issue of the Red Sea is an effect and not a cause, but the cause lies in the occupation and in the war that has been cruelly carried out against the oppressed and innocent people of Gaza during the past three months, with the support of the American government and some other parties.
America and England tried to base their military attacks on Yemen by causing the actions of the Yemeni National Army to disrupt shipping in the Red Sea and claim that more than 2000 thousand The ship was forced to avoid its route to pass, and the claim of doubling the custody of the rented container was also to base its attacks on Yemen. In spite of trying to create the ground for the war, they are worried about the expansion of the dimensions of the war at the regional level, and in their media orientation, they emphasize that neither America nor England wants the expansion of the war in the region, and Iran does not want this expansion of the war either. Many of these actions are the result of their media creation.
2. Is there any information about the naval training of Houthis (Ansarullah) by Iran?
Totunchi: Unfortunately, the perpetrators of the worst humanitarian disaster in Yemen are still claiming responsibility for their destructive actions. The Islamic Republic of Iran has never interfered in the internal affairs of any country, and making such irrelevant and basic accusations is just a struggle to get out of the swamp that they have created for themselves. This approach shows the continuation of ignoring the realities of Yemen and the will of the Yemeni people, which will bring the same results if the mistakes of the past are not corrected. Iranian authorities have repeatedly emphasized in their official positions that the Islamic Republic of Iran has no role in the decision-making and implementation of the National Salvation Government of Yemen. Considering the experiences of the past decade and gaining numerous experiences during the past two years, the Yemeni National Army has been the factor of peace and security in Bab al-Mandab and the Red Sea, and its recent actions have only been aimed at hitting the economic pillar of the Zionist regime and supporting the Palestinian people.
3. Did America send a message to Iran after attacking Yemen?
Totunchi: Since the beginning of the Gaza crisis, we have warned the Americans and other western countries supporting the Zionist regime that if the crimes of the Zionist regime are not stopped, there is a possibility of a deep expansion of the scope of the war in the region. The responsibility of the situation in the region getting out of the control of all parties, the expansion of the scope and dimensions of the war, lies directly with America and it cannot avoid it. They cannot focus on the support action of the regional nations and resistance groups for Palestine and consider it a violation of stability and security in the region, and at the same time continue their unconditional support to the Zionist regime. The situation in the Red Sea is a result of the current situation in Palestine and is not an independent issue. If they want to normalize the situation in the region, they must stop the aggression of the Zionist regime and pay attention to the root of the crisis. The dual policy of Western countries is not acceptable at this time. While the Zionist regime violated all international laws and killed more than 23,000 Palestinians, including women and children, we cannot unilaterally demand that the nations of the region not react against this occupying regime.
4. Does Blinken consider the proximity of Arab countries and Israel as the best way to isolate Iran regionally?
Totunchi: The Zionist regime is the first problem of the region. Despite having advanced equipment and receiving abundant financial aid and becoming the only holder of nuclear weapons in the Middle East, this regime is unable to maintain its security and help ensure regional security. The best way to achieve peace and security in the region, which can bring the welfare and interests of the people of the neighboring countries, is in the hands of the countries of the region. Foreign actors such as the Zionist regime, who claimed to protect others, have now reached out to America to provide supplies and weapons, and they definitely do not have the capacity to protect others. The Al-Aqsa storm operation showed that the Zionist regime is not even capable of maintaining its own security, and those who have counted on it to ensure their security are delusional.
Presence The proximity of the American ships to the occupied territories and the escalation of threats and military movements is a good confirmation of the fact that the military bases throughout the region have no other purpose than to secure the interests of the Zionist regime and the United States. Obviously, the purpose of forming bases and military alliances in the Persian Gulf is also in this direction. In the Gaza crisis, the true nature of the Zionist regime has become clear to everyone, and they are worried about revealing the nature of the child-killing regime, and to escape from it, they present this policy, which is a failed policy.
5. Who is responsible for increasing tension in the Middle East?
Totunchi: Definitely The party responsible for increasing tension in the Middle East is the party that benefits the most from this name. For years, the United States of America has defined its interests in the insecurity of the Middle East. The escalation of militarism in the region is in this context. In this way, America seeks to reduce the costs of its failure in the region and the consequences of future events by bringing other countries together. It is necessary for the countries to be vigilant and not to go along with failed policies, and by looking at the past and American coalitions in the region, they should keep in mind that the US has been present everywhere, the result is nothing but the destruction of the regional capacities and the advancement of the interests of the Westerners and the Zionist regime. has not had The Islamic Republic of Iran has done all its efforts to prevent the spread of war in the region, but we have seen that the Zionist regime’s crimes against the people of Gaza continue with the support and aid of the United States and England.
6. How are Arab reactions to regional events?
Totunchi: So Since Al-Aqsa storm, we have seen the strong political support of the Kuwaiti government, parliament, people and media for the Palestinian nation. Also, the creation of an air bridge to provide relief to the people of Gaza and the sending of more than 40 shipments of humanitarian aid by the people of Kuwait are proof of the place of the Palestinian issue in the heart of the Kuwaiti people. Also, good positions have been adopted by Islamic countries in support of the Palestinian nation, and it is necessary to take joint measures to exert economic pressure on this regime, considering the many capacities that Islamic countries have.
7. Will the attacks of the Houthis (Yemeni) bring Iran into the war? Will settlement of accounts lead to regional war?
Tutunchi: Republic Islamic Iran always insists on avoiding the development of war and the necessity of providing maritime security in the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean. The United States’ one-sided view of its illegitimate interests and the security of the Zionist regime endangers the stability and security of the entire region, and the United States and the West must end this unlimited support to the Zionist occupation regime in order to guarantee the security of the region.
