International Community Must Deter Iran, Al-Jubeir quoted as saying

Manama, Nov. 24, 2019, SPA -- Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir, Minister of the State for Foreign Affairs and Member of the Cabinet, affirmed that Iran follows a path of darkness and its practices impede security and stability in the region. During his participation in the session titled " Defense Diplomacy and Regional Stability" at the 15th Manama Dialogue in Bahrain today, Al-Jubeir held Iran accountable of the attacks against oil facilities in Abqaiq and Khurais recently. " We do not want war, but Iran needs to be held accountable," Al-Jubeir said, warning against appeasing Iran with dialogue. He stressed that Iran should abandon its misleading behavior, respect the sovereignty of states, and international law, pointing out that it is a provocative state threatening the international law. " The key to stability is deterrence and steadfast resolve by the international community on the necessity of confronting Iranian dark approach and sanctions must be tightened," Al-Jubeir added. --SPA
