Bahram Ghasemi, the spokesperson for the foreign ministry of the Islamic Republic said that the Warsaw summit “failed before it started, and its closing statement has no credibility.”

According to Ghasemi: “Despite Washington’s efforts toward creating a coalition against the Islamic Republic, the low number of countries that attended the summit and even they refused to go against Iran, shows that this summit had failed before it started, and its final statement became a useless document.”

The Warsaw summit which was organized by the United States and hosted by Poland ended on Thursday. The closing statement of the summit did not mention Iran specifically, but in their closing press conference, the U.S secretary of state and the foreign minister of Poland both called Iran a “threat to the security of the region” several times.

70 countries were invited to the summit, and over 60 attended. However, Bahram Ghasemi pointed out the absence of Iran, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Palestine, China, and Russia, and questioned the summit’s success.

According to the foreign ministry of Poland, Iran was not invited to the summit due to the dark relations between Tehran and Washington”. Federica Mogherini, the head of EU foreign policy, who is considered an ally of the Islamic Republic also did not attend the summit “due to prior engagement”.

The Islamic Republic officials have called the Warsaw summit “anti-Iranian”, which is no surprise since the Islamic Republic labels most criticism or opposition against the regime as “anti-Iranian”.
