Wherever in the region, the US deployment began, insecurity came later, Jahangiri said, addressing a ceremony in Tehran on Thursday.

He added that US forces have been present in Afghanistan and Iraq in the past few years, while such a presence has brought nothing to those nations because after that presence they have not been happy even for a single day.

Foreign forces in the region are creating insecurity as they cannot help restore security and calm, Jahangiri noted.

In relevant remarks in July, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif blasted the US for its destabilizing measures across the world from Latin America to the Persian Gulf.

“Wherever the US makes a move, it stirs insecurity and instability there. Today, it foments insecurity in the Persian Gulf as well as the South American and Latin American region with its presence,” Zarif told reporters after arrival in Caracas to participate in a Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) conference at the time.

“We do not know anywhere in the world where the US presence has stirred stability; wherever they have stepped in, they have exerted pressure on people and increased extremism and terrorism,” he added.
