Biden’s Iranophobic rhetoric
Iran says the United States is trying to foment tension and crisis in West Asia by resorting to the failed policy of Iranophobia. Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kan’ani made the remarks in reaction to US President Joe Biden, who accused Iran of destabilizing activities in West Asia. Kan’ani also slammed Biden for raising false accusations regarding Tehran’s peaceful nuclear energy program, while ignoring decades of deception by the Israeli regime as the largest possessor of nuclear weapons in the region. During an address to the GCC+3 summit in Jeddah, Biden said the US will remain an active player in the region and will not walk away to leave a vacuum to be filled by China, Russia or Iran.

He called for the need to find a just solution to the Palestine issue, adding that it is a central cause for the Arab and Muslim people. Sheikh Tamim made the remarks during the GCC+3 summit in Jeddah.
