Speaking at a ceremony celebrating the National Persian Gulf Day in the capital Tehran on Saturday, Deputy Head of the Armed Forces Joint Chiefs of Staff Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri described Iran’s military might as the main reasons behind the protection of peace, security and common interests in the Persian Gulf region.
Jazayeri said certain Arab rulers who make baseless claims about the ownership of the three Iranian islands are playing into the hands of the US, and other hegemonic powers.
Experience has shown that such scenarios written by arrogant powers, have failed to accomplish their objectives, the Iranian commander pointed out.
He added that the Persian Gulf plays a significant role for the world peace, and any security crisis there will inevitably be drawn to Transregional countries.
Brigadier General Jazayeri highlighted that the presence of colonial powers in the Persian Gulf has undermined regional stability and security, and prevented the formation of a close regional ties.
The senior Iranian commander stressed that Iran, irrespective of the Western media hype and psychological campaign, has well managed to maintain stability in the Persian Gulf.
