US Ambassador to Kuwait Alina Romanowski has accused Iran of continuing its “destabilizing activities” across the Middle East.
Romanowski, who will soon head to Baghdad after she was nominated as ambassador to Iraq by President Joe Biden, said on Sunday that the Iran’s proxies are a real problem for the stability of the region.
“Iran in our view is promoting very destabilizing activities in the region, which doesn’t help the security of the region; the support they are giving to non-state actors is a real problem in terms of stability”, she told TimesKuwait.
She said Washington is trying to find a solution for the Islamic Republic’s support for Houthis, noting that “Our efforts are focused on assisting people in Yemen on humanitarian grounds, but at the same time in the UAE we are giving support on the defense side”.
About the Biden administration’s indirect nuclear negotiations with Iran in Vienna, she said, “We are in a very delicate time now in this negotiation… We are consulting our partners and allies in the region, and also with the EU. We see that time is running out in terms of finding a solution and our ways to go back to the JCPOA. We have the Iranians as partners too, but at the end of the day, our objective is for us not to see Iran acquiring the capability to further destabilize the region”.
