TEHRAN (Dispatches) -- Iran is ready for talks with its Arab neighbors "without preconditions,” the country’s foreign minister said as nations such as the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain normalize their relations with the occupying regime of Israel.
"Iran is ready without preconditions to sit down and talk with Arab neighbors,” Muhammad Javad Zarif said in an interview on Press TV. "We want to live in good relations with our neighborhood. We want to have a strong neighborhood.”
The UAE and Bahrain last year normalized their ties with the Zionist regime in a shift which allows Israel to achieve broad commercial ties in the heart of the Persian Gulf.  
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said last year the UAE’ decision to normalize ties with Israel was a betrayal of the Arab and Muslim worlds and unlikely to last.
"If they believe they can buy security from Netanyahu, they can be my guest,” Zarif said on Sunday, referring to Zionist PM Benjamin Netanyahu.
