Teheran, October 21 (KCNA) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Salehi said Tuesday that Washington's "evil scenario" is intended to tarnish Iran's ties with its Arab neighbors, the local satellite Press TV reported.

He said that Washington's "scenario" is intended to prop up the unsuccessful coalition of certain Western states to impose illegal sanctions on Iran and to help Washington regain its "lost" position in the sensitive Middle East region, according to Press TV.

He further cautioned the international community to remain vigilant in the face of such "baseless allegations" which threaten global order, peace and security.

Salehi emphasized that regional and international stability has always been a top priority in the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic as the country has been a victim of terrorism itself.
