Anti-Iranian statement by the Foreign Ministers of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council and the United KingdomThe British Foreign Secretary and the Gulf Cooperation Council announced in a statement issued Monday evening that they had reached an agreement on "strategic partnerships".

The statement came after a one-day meeting of British Foreign Secretary and Gulf Cooperation Council members in the Chongqing neighborhood of Kent in the southeast of the United Kingdom, and parts of it contained allegations against Iran.

The British and Arab foreign ministers hailed the lifting of sanctions talks in Vienna between Iran and the P4+1 as a "last chance" to restore security in the region and avoid escalating nuclear tensions.

A part of the statement reads:
The ministers called on Iran to seize the current diplomatic opportunity to revive the IAEA (Joint Action Plan) in order to avoid bringing the region and the international community into crisis.

The foreign ministers have once again accused Iran of carrying out so-called "destructive activities" and claimed that this was a matter of "serious concern". The statement called on the new Iranian government to "play a positive role in the region, abide by international law, respect the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of its neighbors, and stop supporting militant groups."
