The committee renewed its call “for Iran to cease its interference in the internal affairs of Arab countries, and to stop supporting its proxies in the region and provoking sectarian strife, which constitutes a continuous threat to the security and stability of Arab countries.”
The members of the committee discussed “the draft resolution on Iranian interference in the internal affairs of Arab countries, which will be approved by the League Council at the ministerial level, stressing on demand for international community to take a firm stance to confront Iran and its destabilizing activities in the region.”
The four Arab countries, as well as the United States , accuse Iran of interfering in the affairs of the countries of the region, especially Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon, and accuse it of supporting “terrorist parties and destabilizing stability there,” which the Islamic Republic vehemently denies.
