Iran's Minister of Defense Brigadier General Amir Hatami warned the Zionist Regime over threatening the security of the Persian Gulf.







Speaking to Al Jazeera, he referred�to ending Iran�s arms embargo and noted, �The termination of these sanctions has created an opportunity for us to import the weapons we need and export our weapons to other countries.�

He went on to say that the Islamic Republic of Iran has military contracts with China and Russia in order to boost its military power.

�We strongly urge that there must not be an arms race, as this would turn the region into a powder keg. We are ready to sign military and security agreements with the countries of the Persian Gulf in order to strengthen regional stability,� he added.

Hatami further noted that the Islamic Republic has given official warnings to Azerbaijan and Armenia regarding the security of Iranian border areas, adding, �We expect Turkey, as an important and friendly country, to help resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh crisis diplomatically.�

�The normalization of relations of the UAE and Bahrain with the Zionist regime is a direct threat to the security of the Persian Gulf region. Any Israeli threat coming from the Persian Gulf will face a clear and direct response,� he maintained.

According to Hatami, the Islamic Republic will not negotiate with the US regarding its missile systems, and no one has the right to ask Iran to do so.
