IRNA � Recent comments by British Prime Minister Theresa May at the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council describing Iran as taking aggressive regional actions, are in fact preparing the way for London to intervene more in the region, says former diplomat.

'Tehran remains to be against any foreign interventions in the Persian Gulf region by big powers, including the United States and Britain,' Hossein Mousavian wrote in a recent Facebook post.

In his Facebook post, Mousavian recalls his talks with an Scandinavian diplomat on recent comments by the British prime minister and Iran's stance on foreign interventions in the region.

The text of the dialogue between the two diplomats follows:

I am here in Morocco to attend a conference. A former Scandinavian diplomat approaches me to ask 'Why recent comments by the British prime minister in the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council have disturbed you Iranians?

'Even during its heyday as Great Britain, the former empire fell short of staying in the region, let alone its present position as a second class European power?' he further asked.'

That is because Theresa May by making such comments is working towards creating division among Muslim countries in the region and opens the way for Britain to expand its intervention, I replied.

Tehran is against foreign interventions in the Persian Gulf region by big powers, including the United States and Britain, I told him.

'Apparently, you are still unaware of the unwritten policy the US and Europe are following?' he wondered.

'Have you ever thought why the outgoing US President Barack Obama entered a nuclear deal with you and let you continue with your enrichment activities while he gave the green light as well for the sanctions to be lifted?' he asked.

'And after all, why the Europeans are signing long term economic agreements with you, while they only sell weapons to the Saudis and other Persian Gulf Arab states?' he further asked.

'The reason behind all these is that the West has come to realize you Iranians are going to persist while they, sooner or later are doomed to go,' he said, referring to some Arab states.

'It goes without saying that the quickest way to funnel out the money in their possession is selling them arms,' the Scandinavian diplomat said.

Apart from relieving their economic problems by relying on the petrodollars they earn by selling their weapons, Britain and Europe are after stopping promulgation of the Wahhabi and Salafi ideologies by some Arab states,' he argued.

'More, by depriving them from their petrodollars they won't be able to wage another regional war similar to the one they are leading in Yemen,' he said.

'In the absence of petrodollars they will be more at risk of internal crises that will ultimately bring forth their doomsday,' he said.

I told him that this does not constitute a fair policy as by following such a policy the West tends to provide weapons for governments itself believes are doomed to disappear.

These weapons are going to exacerbate the situation in the region as they fall into the hands of the Wahhabi extremists, I told him.

On the other hand, I told him, the region cannot bear with more regime collapses without realistic alternatives to take their places.

New scenarios similar to what happened in Libya are going to add to the predicaments already overwhelming the region, I said.

And, as far as Iran is concerned, the country is looking for establishing collective cooperation with its neighbors not collective division.
