Iran's foreign minister warned that 'the threats are coming from the U.S. and its Western allies who are pouring weapons in the region.'
Iran has criticized the massive amount of weapons sold by the United States and its partners to their Middle Eastern allies, warning such arms sales were destabilizing the region.
"The United Arab Emirates with a total one-million indigenous population spent $22 billion, Saudi Arabia spent $87 billion," Zarif said of the two close U.S. allies in an interview with Al Jazeera. A picture obtained by AFP from the semi-official Iranian Students' News Agency on June 13 reportedly shows fire and smoke billowing from Norwegian-owned Front Altair tanker said to have been attacked in the waters of the Gulf of Oman, less than 100 miles from the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. and Iran have blamed one another for causing unrest across the Persian Gulf region.
As U.S.-Iran tensions worsen in the Persian Gulf, however, even security officials from the UAE met with Iranian border policeon joint maritime cooperation earlier this month. Zarif and other Iranian officials have also been in talks with Kuwait, Oman and Iraq, which maintains close ties to both Iran and the U.S.
