In reaction to media hype on the recent talks between the US and Saudi foreign ministers, the Iranian Embassy in London tweeted a message on Tuesday and described the country as a prominent role player in the region that is not the subject of negotiation of others.
“All must learn that Iran cannot be the subject of their negotiations. this way proved to be fruitless,” the tweed reads as adding that “Rather she would be the powerful party of any negotiations. Provided her potency is recognized as the pillar for regional security and its intrests are respected accordingly.”
This message was replied to the message wrote by the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken in which he claimed “Spoke again today with Saudi Foreign Minister @FaisalbinFarhan about the recent Iranian attack in the Arabian Sea and our ongoing security cooperation. We also discussed support for a ceasefire in Yemen and the need for progress on human rights.”
Tensions have simmered in the region after a suspected drone attack last week on an Israeli-managed tanker off the Omani coast killed two crew members and was blamed on Iran by the US, Israel and Britain, without any evidence.
The US said Sunday that it would work with their allies to respond to the alleged attack. Iran repeatedly denied any involvement in the attack.
