Washington intends to continue to insist on the extension of the arms embargo against Tehran, Brian Hook, US Special Representative for Iran noted.

He also accused Iran of provoking instability in the Middle East, TASS reported referring to Al Hadath.

Iran is fueling conflicts in the region, contributing to the destabilization of the situation in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Lebanon. Iran seeks to take control of Iraq, which is unacceptable, he added.
