Bahrain Mirror: Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said that the crises in Syria, Yemen and Bahrain do not have military solutions and can only be resolved through cessation of hostilities, and the acceptance of the will and wishes of the populaces.
"In today's globalized world, peace, security, stability and the progress of all nations are intertwined," said Rouhani in his address at the United Nations General Assembly, noting that "it is simply impossible for anybody to aspire to attain long-term stability, prosperity and development, while Muslims in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Bahrain, Afghanistan, Myanmar and so many other places live in misery, war and poverty."
He further highlighted that "instability and extremist violence have only been exacerbated in our region through the military interventions of extra-regional actors - the same powers that try to sell ever more of their deadly weapons to other states by accusing Iran of fomenting instability."
Rouhani stressed that foreign intervention and the imposition of alien wishes on the people of the region will only widen and deepen the crises in the region, emphasizing that the "crises in Syria, Yemen and Bahrain do not have military solutions and can only be resolved through cessation of hostilities, and the acceptance of the will and wishes of the populaces."
