Our neighbors’ experience shows security not increased by US foothold in region – Iranian ambassador to Russia
Published 15 Oct, 2026 16:24In an exclusive interview on RT’s Sanchez Effect, Kazem Jalali, Iranian ambassador to Russia, condemns America’s destabilizing impact on the international community and aggressive acts against sovereign nations – even without the age-old pretexts of ‘restoring democracy’ or ‘liberation’. He also assures that the Islamic Republic has no intention of attacking its neighbors unless they allow their territories to be used to strike Iran. The ambassador endorses the Houthis’ growing effort to push foreign influence out of Yemen – and advises Saudi Arabia to leave the country alone and choose cooperation instead.
