'Our region is on the edge of collapse, as a single blunder can fuel a big fire,' Rouhani warned fellow Middle East leaders.
Regional stability in the Middle East cannot be achieved while U.S. troops are still deployed there, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani warned on Wednesday at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
But HOPE could not include the U.S., Rouhani said, suggesting that outside intervention will only exacerbate friction in the Persian Gulf and wider Middle East. Instead, he called on arch-rival Saudi Arabia to take responsibility for its own actions, arguing the country's security"shall be guaranteed with the termination of aggression to Yemen, rather than by inviting foreigners."
Both Saudi Arabia and the U.S. have blamed Iran for this month's attack on Saudi oil infrastructure in the east of the country.
