Tehran : An Iranian Foreign Ministry official said on Saturday that Iranian strategy in the Persian Gulf has focused on developing relations with the Persian Gulf states and helping keep the region away from foreign intervention.
Commenting on statement of head of US Central Command Admiral William Fallon, the official said that Iran is keen on amity and cooperation with the neighboring states.
Fallon had said on the eve of a security confab in Manama, Bahrain that Iran may close Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf.
The Iranian official said that participation of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the Summit of leaders of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC) in Doha on December 3 was very successful in developing collective cooperation in the region and thwarting trans-regional interference in decision making of the neighboring states.
