Iran has strongly condemned a recent statement issued by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the United States, labeling it “interventionist.” The criticism centers on Iran’s ballistic missile program, its activities in the Strait of Hormuz, and its alleged support for armed groups in the region. Iranian officials have dismissed the concerns as baseless and accused Washington and the GCC of attempting to destabilize the region. Tehran maintains its missile program is solely for defensive purposes and denies actively supporting hostile groups. This rejection of pressure signals continued friction between Iran and the US-GCC alliance, hindering potential diplomatic efforts. The statement underscores ongoing disagreements over regional security and Iran’s role within the Middle East.
