Iran assails US deployment of B-52 bombers in Mideast as ‘destabilizing’

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei criticizes what he calls the United States’ “destabilizing presence” after the deployment of B-52 bombers in the region.

“We have always believed that the presence of America in the region is a destabilizing presence,” Baghaei tells a news conference in response to a question about the deployment, adding that it “will not deter [Iran’s] resolve to defend itself.”
