Iran stressed on Friday that the US-organized Warsaw conference is a “total failure,” dismissing the allegations raised in the final statement of the meeting.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi described the communiqué as a proof of the anti-Iran meeting’s failure.
All participants in the US-organized Warsaw conference, which was aimed at rallying international support against the Islamic Republic, knew well all along it would be a “total failure,” Qassemi said.
“Despite Washington’s extensive attempts to hold an all-inclusive summit and forge a new alliance against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the number of participants and their low levels of participation, coupled with their reluctance to support any anti-Iran decision… turned the final statement of the summit into a useless document,” Qassemi said early Friday.
“How can a conference titled ‘Peace and Security in the Middle East’ succeed when main regional players such as Iran, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Palestine are not in attendance and major countries such as China, Russia and many other European and non-European countries are either absent or” represented in lowest levels, he added.
Many countries announced long before the event they would either escape the event or send low-profile delegations to Warsaw.
This is while the White House was represented by both Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
