He made the remakes Sunday in Tehran while addressing the military parades on the occasion of the start of the Sacred Defense Week.

Wherever Americans have set foot, they increased insecurity, as it was proved in cases of Afghanistan and Iraq, he said.

The Iranian president noted that he is going to present an initiative in the UN General Assembly this week which will guarantee the security of the Persian Gulf and Hormuz Strait with the cooperation of regional states.

Then addressing those who claim to be worried about security in the Middle East, Rouhani said “If they are telling the truth, they’d better not turn the region into a stage of arms race … if they are after [establishing] security, they’d better get out of the region.”
