Iran called the 'Jerusalem Declaration' a threat to the Middle East

15 July 2022


"The 'Jerusalem Declaration' is a threat to the Middle East, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani said on Friday.


"The joint statement by [US President Joe] Biden and [Israeli Prime Minister Yair] Lapid emphasizes the 'unwavering and resolute US commitment to maintaining Israel's security and military superiority,'" Kanani was quoted by ISNA as saying. - "The target is not only Iran, but also Arab and Islamic countries, which must always recognize Israel's superiority." According to him, "the main source of the threat to the region is quite clear."


"As long as the Israeli government is the first stop on the American presidents' trip, and the first goal is to maintain its security and military superiority, the peoples and countries of the region will not achieve peace, stability and tranquility," Kanani said. - "Iran considers the security of its neighbors as its security."


On July 14, Yair Lapid and Joe Biden signed a declaration of strategic partnership in Jerusalem. In particular, it notes that the US intends "to work with other partners to counter aggression and destabilizing steps by Iran".
