Tehran, Oct 20, IRNA � Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said here Tuesday that the time when Iran was shown as a security threat is gone.

Zarif made the remarks at a ceremony on Iran's National Exports Day today.

Talking to Iran and supporting it did cost a lot at that time, said Zarif.

Referring to the legitimate process of implementation of the Joint Comprehensive plan of Action (JCPOA,) Zarif said, 'We are witnessing new conditions in the country.'
