US wrong policies, interference to blame for terror spread: Iran
Tehran (KNA) - Iran has hit back at US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo over his latest meddlesome comments about the Islamic Republic's role in the Middle East, saying Washington's "illegitimate interference and wrong policies" are the root cause of the expansion of terrorism and insecurity in the region.
"Instability, extremism, insecurity and the growth of terrorism as well as other problems and crises in this region are created by the US illegitimate interference and wrong policies," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Friday.
He made the comments after Pompeo claimed in a post on his Twitter account that Iran's support for Yemen's Houthi Ansarullah movement "not only enables attacks on Saudi Arabia & UAE, but also risks increasing Yemen's already massive humanitarian crisis.
"The Iranian spokesperson reacted to Pompeo's allegations and said such false comments and blame game against Tehran cannot hide the destructive and destabilizing role of the United States, which is "interfering in the affairs of our region from thousands of kilometers away."
