Present challenges in the region are the consequence of the flawed US-PGCC Conference in the Saudi capital Riyadh, says Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qasemi.
During his weekly press conference on Monday, Qasemi told reporters that the countries in the region should exercise patience and try to use negotiations to settle differences.
'As I told at the previous session, the Riyadh meeting by having a faulty architecture and taking place at an inappropriate time, could have bode for severe consequences across the region regarding the interference by others, he said.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that the countries in the region, regarding the present situation and challenges faced by them, could embark on taking a positive approach and sit at the negotiation table to settle tensions and do something to further promote stability in the region,” Qasemi said.
US President Donald Trump recently visited Saudi Arabia to meet with heads from the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council in Riyadh.
In a Twitter message he had said that his visit of the region was going to secure Americans “jobs, jobs, jobs.”
A 110-billion dollar arms sale pact was signed during his visit to the kingdom.
