The Arabic-language al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper wrote on Tuesday that certain
Arab states' attempts to have close relations with Israel under the pretext of
confronting Iran show their folly and lack of wisdom.
"This idea that confrontation against Iran necessarily needs unity with the
Zionist regime and normalization of ties with Tel Aviv, which is merely an
Israeli idea and will benefit the regime," it added.
The newspaper wrote that Israel has been for years using regional events to its
benefit, and its recent success is misusing the sectarian war in the region and
Iranophobia which has made certain Persian Gulf Arab states spend billions of
dollars.
Israel and its key ally, the US, have launched propaganda against Iran's
military development and role in the region but Tehran has always underlined the
defensive nature of its military program and helped the regional states in fight
against the terrorist groups.
In relevant remarks in 2017, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif
dismissed Israel's concerns about Tehran's defensive program as fake Iranophobia
propaganda.
"The only regime in ME with nukes, ICBMs and a history of aggression whines
about Iran's means of defense. Fear-mongering hype is fake news,” Zarif wrote on
his Twitter page at the time.
The Iranian foreign minister reiterated that the Israeli regime is a threat to
the security in the Middle East.
