MP: PGCC Seeking to Divert Public Opinion from Members' Crimes in Region
TEHRAN (FNA)- A member of the Iranian parliament blasted the recent allegations raised by the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council against Tehran, describing them as a tactical move to divert the public opinion from the crimes committed by certain PGCC members against the regional people.
"The false accusations raised against the Islamic Republic of Iran in the recent statements of the PGCC indicate the insaneness of the Council members," member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Avaz Heidarpour told FNA on Tuesday.
He described the measure as a plot to divert the world public opinion from the military and crisis-creating actions carried out by certain regional countries against the people of the region.
Earlier this month, the PGCC member states issued a statement at a ministerial meeting in Abu Dhabi, accusing Iran of interference in Bahrain's internal affairs.
Iran strongly rejected the claim, and said interference means deploying troops and killing people in a foreign country, alluding to the deployment of the Saudi-led PGCC forces in the Bahrain.
In March, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait deployed their troops in Bahrain to reinforce the brutal armed clampdown against mass protests.
Scores of Bahraini protesters have been killed and many others gone missing in the harsh crackdown since the beginning of the revolution in the Middle Eastern country.
People in Bahrain have been protesting since February 14, demanding an end to the rule of the Al Khalifa dynasty.
Demonstrators maintain that they will hold their ground until their demands for freedom, constitutional reform and a proportional voice in the government are met.
