If they talk to Iran with a language of respect and try to solve the questions through dialogue, all can be the winners, Jahangiri said at a local ceremony on Saturday.

But, he stressed, if they change their tone, they should know that they talk about a critical region where Iran is a stable country, so Tehran is not a problem for the region, but the one which can help solve the regional problems, according to IRNA.

If Iran were not present (in the region) today, Syria woud be in the hands of the terrorist group of Daesh, the Arab countries would be surrounded by that group and it was not clear what would happen in Afghanistan, said Jahangiri stressing that “So, Iran was present wherever it was needed as the country is well capable of ensuring stability.”

He further reiterated the accusations that Iran is a supporter of terrorism are “useless claims” and the one who makes them would be ashamed later.

By voicing anti-Iran slogans, they want to decelerate the process of development in the country, the senior official noted, adding Iran does not care in the least for those remarks.

The domestic and foreign investors well know that Iran has good development plans, he stressed.
