The withdrawal of US troops from bases in the Persian Gulf countries is the only way to improve the situation in the Middle East. Rear Admiral Ali Reza Tangsiri, commander of the naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran, stated this on social media

Tangsiri recalled that in recent years, Iran has repeatedly warned the leaders of the Persian Gulf monarchies about the hypocritical policies of the US and Western countries.

The Americans and Europeans have not brought security to the region, but have simply exploited the Persian Gulf countries for their own purposes. Therefore, the only way to improve the situation in the Middle East is the unity of Islamic states and the withdrawal of US troops from the region, the IRGC senior officer stated.
