Brand of terrorists and extremists in syria in the form of dives and a nose for bringing syria to loons. To dangerously occupying today parts of syria under the guise of fighting the organisations that they finance arm and support. From israels invasion and subsequent aggressions on their been on its eagle occupation of palestine and its almost theyd be illegal incursions into syrian air space to attempt to create cartoonish images. To blame others for his own strategic blunders or maybe to evade the domestic crisis that tracie. Banned from bombing german with question supplied arms what have these acts brought to the world. The us and its local clients in our region are suffering from the consequences of their own wrong choices. But they use this and other fora. To revive the hysteria on irans Foreign Policy and try to obscure its realities but did iran force them to make these wrong choices as some of them so ridiculously claimed these days that they supported extremism in order to face iran are we to build a name are we to blame. Because we refused to support adama say because we thought Saddam Hussein. Because we were on the right side of history fighting Saddam Hussein fighting the taliban fighting al qaeda fighting die fighting north korea consistently. Instead of joining those who supported them in creation in financing and in army distinguished threads. As i said before this last year iran believes that our security in the persian gulf requires a french Regional Security architecture. We believe in and happy oppose creating what we call a strong region rather than a strong man in the region. And you got a noticed a difference we want a strong region we do not want to be the head to man in the region as we believe the era of head germany is long past regionally as well as globally a strong region where small and large nations even those with historical rivalries can contribute to stability this is simply recognizing the need to respect the interests of all stakeholders in this Persian Gulf Region which is by its very nature a requirement for stability by hedging monic tendencies by any regional or global power will again by its very nature lead to insecurity. The arms race in our region and no country probably represented here can claim to be completely innocent of perpetuating that anthrax is an example of the destructive and unnecessary right would be that has made our neighborhood unsafe and insecurity for its own inhabitants as well as for any gifts in a quest to create a strong region we need to be realistic and i kept our differences. We need to move from the defunct concept of collective security and Alliance Sport nations. To inclusive concepts such as security networking. In the area of networking globally which can address issues that range from divergence of interest to disparities in size and power as is the case in any. Virtual network your joint. Security networking is a non zero sum approach that accepts that security is indivisible. As opposed to alliances and blocks which are fundamentally based on that defunct zero sum approach of gaining security at the expense of insecurity of others. The nuclear deal. And i see some people who were closely involved the National Secretary kerry others here was an example. Of such nonzero sum thinking recognizing differences but also recognizing that we could define common objectives and maintaining respect for the interests and concerns of all participants led to the very difficult but successful outcome of the negotiations leading to the j. C. Puer and that may be why those who see everything in terms of one sided profiteering are intrinsically opposed to this without even reading immediately after the conclusion of the j. C. Pure. Iran sought to use the same approach for the persian gulf and propose to create a regional dialogue or. The proposal fell on deaf ears. But that proposal is still on the table you know why because thats the only game in town thats the only viable alternative out of the misery that we have been for the past many decades it could become if our neighbors join us a forum that will be used as an instrument for helping organize an advance dialogue at the poor and informal levels in our region and while encouraging intergovernmental and formal dialogue it can also promote dialogue between scholars and thinkers and the general public the parameters of irans proposed regional architecture are simple but effective rather than trying to ingore conflicts of interests it will accept differences being premised on inclusive ety it can act as a pyre wall to prevent. The emergence of an oligarchy among big states and importantly it allows smaller states to participate and have their interests protected like the helsinki process that the secretary general referred to the future Security Architecture in the persian gulf should be based on the ticket principles and c. B. S. Baskets all countries around this white are and at the same time while a tight waterway should be able to enter by committing to a series of common standers enshrined in the un charter such as sovereign equality refraining from the threat or use of force. Peaceful resolution of disputes respect for territorial integrity inviolability or borders non intervention in the Domestic Affairs of states and respect for selfdetermination within states we also recognize that we need confidence Building Measures in the persian gulf from joint military visits to create a notification of military exercises and from transparency measures in our immense and procurement of arms to reducing military expenditures all of which could eventually lead and i hope thats not in a too distant future to a regional nonaggression pact we can begin with easier to implement issues such as tourism joint investments or even joint task forces on issues ranging from Nuclear Safety in the persian gulf but a lot of Nuclear Reactors are being built to pollution but all of us are suffering from. Issues such as dust storms. To disaster management. Distinguished friends at a time when we are dangerously close to escalating conflict that bill affect our children and grandchildren i encourage my counterparts in the Persian Gulf Region. To join iran in making this proposal a reality i thank. Thank you mr minister we have time for a few questions and we have we collected some questions already if the if there are questions please read the miller piece of paper because right as i sit down to take questions we are going to quickly go over to our correspondent whos also been listening in on the Iranian Foreign minister a little bit earlier we had the. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu calling iran the greatest straight to the world and Mohammed Zarif dismissed it as cartoonish and didnt deserve a response he was talking about the defeat of iceland he welcomed that but also that the root cause is still exist and they need to be addressed what iran wants he said reasons strong region and not a strong man and he called for fresh Regional Security architecture and Multi Lateral ism to step into place and also he said the nuclear deal is the only deal in town. So lets deal with israel first he really dismissed israel the comments made by Benjamin Netanyahu but he was still able to get a dig in wasnt. Absolutely a. J. I mean it didnt take the iranians long to hit back the comments made by the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu. Youve heard a remark by the iranian Prime Minister mohammad joy is that if when his this is a. He does not deserve any response from the iranian government has basically been very critical of the israelis saying that they are the ones responsible for many of the atrocities committed against the syrians and also against the palestinians fermenting more discontent in the region but it was also an opportunity for him to settle some scores with the saudis and the americans he said that the. He was using the term without naming the saudi arabia of israel the clients of the United States of america have been responsible for committing these were his terms missteps atrocities and blunders in the region for many time and then instead of recognizing that it is possible for that they are laying the blame on us. Ultimately who was thinking that we could be a way out from this who instability and tense in the region by offering the arab world. The middle east a new Security Architecture or grange events without going further into details that we raise to be seen whether countries like saudi arabia will join in that i think they have been very critical saying that this is not something that we need to discuss now the most important point at this particular moment is the need for iran to tell you way from areas like yemen like iraq and like syria what weve been listening to today from the israeli Prime Minister from the Iranian Foreign minister were expecting to hear soon from the Saudi Foreign minister. A clear indication that what were seeing is mounting tension in the region even the United Nations to tend to mr a while ago were all saying that they are pretty much concerned about where the the latest Development Regional powers interfering in different parts in the middle east brazing the concern of a regional confrontation but he did say that they knew clear deal the Iranian Nuclear deal is still the only deal in town. Indeed and this is something which is also supported by the e. U. Law which believes that it is something that needs to be. Upheld by the americans also to pave the way for more talks in the new near future and stability but also at the same time the israelis have been saying this is a big mistake the general mike musto yesterday said that the two thousand and fifteen deal was a big mistake so what we having now is the u. S. Administration saying that it considers this to be a big mistake by the Obama Administration might review the whole thing the u. S. Saying that they are concerned that if the. If the deal is struck by the United States of america it could the whole world could enter an uncharted territory from an iranian point of view the say that they have been genuine or that they have been trying to comply with the terms of the deal but of the same time what they have been seeing is that the internet the americans in particular and the israelis are trying to sort of frame this whole deal or something which is as a big thing happening to the International Community that that narrative that which has been on the why is the growing tension. Gives us an indication that as long as conflicts particularly in yemen and syria are not resolved what were going to see is a middle east moving towards more confrontation thanks for that lets bring in jury says a professor in contemporary history the middle east of cateau University Joins me here in doha say seventy didnt sound like the greatest threat to the world as put by benjamin yes and you know here a little earlier on i mean as as as. Alarming as as netanyahu was we had sorry that trying to talk down the or trying to be less alarmist. Right he was saying look we are in difficult times here but were going to work to get what we witnessed. In there at about defining threats and the danger and according to the iranian the main the threat is dash and isis and israelis and what so called the americans and the local clients so that thats the definition if you want to speak if you want to speak about it its those are the threats and they have made the wrong decisions and they blame us for those decisions that a good point about supporting groups has become increasingly militarized absolutely and he speaks here about its basically daschle and isis in particular because according to the iranian since two thousand and eleven the main source of the threat is actually dies and isis and they believe that those are the responsible of uncivility iraq syria also another in yemen as well so that is the narrative of iran what it is basically saying to the world you blame iran look these are the real reasons these are the real causes of the instability and threats in the region ok but weve also got to take some of that with a pinch of salt considering irans game and what theyve been involved in. It of course was trying to work on his hand and say you know we are the good guys of the region you have to listen to us you know we we have a you know we have a proposal this is the proposal its having security arrangements and then repeats the same thing what he said last year actually what he spoke about and it work of security including all of the gulf countries which basically they responded to that you know iran should fix its behavior first before having any kind of agreement on security and. Or any security arrangement so basically there is mistrust between iran and neighbors and the security arrangements needs. Trust which is missing a absolutely between both sides ship thank you very much thank you jeanne.
