Iran’s Rouhani warns of spillover of regional woes

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani warns that the consequences of regional problems will affect the entire world, urging collective cooperation to solve global issues, particularly the spread of terrorism.

“In today’s world, regional problems will not remain in that region and their effects will immediately come to light in other parts of the world,” Rouhani said in a meeting with Czech Minister of Foreign Affairs Lubomir Zaoralek in Tehran on Monday.

He added that interference of some countries in internal affairs of others and an “instrumental approach” to violence and terrorism are two main problems which would pose challenges both to the region and the world.

He said powerful and influential countries in the region should not impose their views on regional states and meddle in their domestic affairs.
