Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ramin Mehmanparast has dismissed the most recent Gulf Cooperation Council's (GCC) statement, saying it is an attempt to divert attention from certain regional countries' military intervention in Bahrain, Mehr news agency reported.
"It is a matter of surprise that they claim Iran meddles in the regional countries' affairs while certain countries' military forces have trampled underfoot international law and conventions and intervened in their neighbor's affairs and suppressed defenseless men and women," Mehmanparast said on Monday.
The GCC states, after a meeting in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on Sunday issued a statement calling on the international community and the UN Security Council to take the necessary measures to stop "the provocative interference" by Iran in the domestic affairs of their countries.
