He blasted the western ploy and hues and cries about Iran’s nuclear program, and said the western countries make baseless claims about Iran’s nuclear program but “Israel has been ignored in these hue and cries, while it is only Israel which has a nuclear arsenal in the region”.
As regards his talks with Turkish officials, Kharafi stated that Kuwait and Turkey enjoy common views on regional issues, adding that in their talks, they have sought solution to the regional problems.
Discussions also touched on issues concerning the region namely the Palestinian cause in addition to the situation in Iraq and Lebanon, as well as the Iranian nuclear file, stated the top Kuwaiti lawmaker.
Iran and Kuwait enjoy cordial diplomatic relations. After Iran came under increasing pressure from the West in recent years over its civilian nuclear program, Kuwait demanded the US to respect Iranian sovereignty and seek a diplomat solution to the matter.
