A policy of hegemony

The Iranian regime is embracing a policy of hegemony, extremism, destruction and is working on overthrowing states and their institutions, Bahrain has charged.

“While supporting terrorist and extremist groups and interfering in the internal affairs of other states, Iran falsely accuses neighbouring countries of instigating events that take place in Iran,” Foreign Minister Shaikh Khalid Bin Ahmad Al Khalifa said at the UN General Assembly where he delivered Bahrain’s speech.

“It aspires to impose its hegemony on the region by packaging and exporting its miserable revolution under which the Iranian people suffer from tyranny, oppression and injustice. It disseminates an extremist ideology that has become a constant feature of its foreign policy and is threatening the aspirations and ambitions of peoples who have coexisted for many centuries…, living side by side in an environment of shared heritage, culture, commerce and others.”

Citing Yemen, Shaikh Khalid said, “The Iranian regime backs the militias behind the coup in Yemen to be able to continue its criminal and hostile activities threatening neighbouring countries by means of ballistic missiles against civilian populated areas in Saudi Arabia.”
