TEHRAN -- Iran has strongly rejected Morocco’s accusations that the Islamic Republic was interfering in the regional Arab countries’ internal affairs.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani advised Morocco to allow the Western Saharan people to exercise their right to self-determination based on the United Nations’ laws and regulations, instead of seeking assistance from the occupying regime of Israel.
He was referring to Rabat’s normalization last year of its relations with Tel Aviv under the so-called Abraham Accords.
“Instead of blame game and unfounded allegations against the Islamic Republic, Morocco had better worry about the insecurity that has come to threaten the regional countries and nations as a result of Rabat’s normalization of its ties with the apartheid Zionist regime,” the Iranian official said.
Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita earlier claimed that Iran was meddling in the domestic affairs of Arab countries, including Morocco and Yemen.
Bourita alleged that the Islamic Republic had provided “drones” to the pro-independence Polisario Front movement, which has been fighting to end Morocco’s 1970s-present annexation of the Western Sahara region.
Kanaani urged Bourita to spend his time trying to resolve the problems and suffering that have been affecting Yemen.
