The Spokesman of Iran’s Foreign Ministry has also said Persian Gulf littoral states have the potential to secure waterways and maritime transportation in the region, without any foreign interference. Naser Kan’ani said the security of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman is a priority of Iran and is achievable through regional cooperation. He also dismissed as false the claim that foreign military presence in the region is aimed at ensuring security.
