Iran�s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian says the Israeli regime is the main cause of instability and insecurity in the entire West Asia region.

Amir Abdollahian made the remarks in an early Sunday phone call with his Emirati counterpart, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, during which the two sides discussed bilateral, regional and international issues.
During the call, Iran�s top diplomat said �the� presence of al-Quds occupying regime is the cause of instability and insecurity as well as terrorism and sabotage in the entire region.�
Amir Abdollahian added that the Islamic Republic of Iran seeks security and progress for its neighbors and the region, while considering the presence of foreigners as an impediment to the establishment of regional security.

He added that Iran�s foreign policy gives priority to its neighbors, stressing the need to further boost cooperation and expand relations between Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

The Emirati minister, for his part, said his country will not allow destructive measures to be taken from its territory against neighboring countries.

The two sides also stressed the necessity of increasing contacts and consultations between the two countries.

The two foreign ministers had another phone call in early April, during which Amir Abdollahian, once again, said Israel is the root cause of insecurity in the region, warning regional countries that the presence of the Tel Aviv regime poses a threat to all.

�Efforts should be made to prevent those who create crisis from gaining a foothold in the region," Amir Abdollahian told his Emirati counterpart.

He also expressed Iran�s good intention and push for security and progress of its neighboring states in the region, including the UAE, and emphasized, "The Zionists have been and are the root cause of insecurity in the region."

Also in April, Iran�s President Ebrahim Raisi said the Islamic Republic is closely monitoring Israel's regional activities and will not allow the regime to threaten security of the region via any country.

Raisi made the remarks in a meeting with visiting Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein, during which he said Iran expected its neighbors, especially Iraq, not to allow any presence on their soil, which would threaten the security of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

�The Islamic Republic of Iran has proved its brotherhood toward its neighbors in practice.... therefore, we expect the neighboring countries to remain vigilant toward the enemies� plots.

�The Islamic Republic of Iran is closely monitoring the [regional] moves of the Zionist regime and cooperation with this infanticide regime cannot be hidden. We will by no means allow them to threaten the security of the region through any country, especially Iraq,� Iran�s president said.
