Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Thursday that either all Gulf countries enjoy security, “or they will all be deprived of it.”

In an opinion piece in the Kuwaiti Al Rai newspaper, Zarif wrote the Gulf can be secured through dialogue among the countries of the region, including Saudi Arabia, and without the interference of foreign powers.

Saudi Arabia, which is locked in several proxy wars in the region with arch foe Iran, has blamed Tehran for attacks on Saudi oil plants September 14, a charge Iran denies.
