Moroccan Foreign Minister said on Thursday that Iran was acting through its proxies to destabilize the African region and threaten the territorial integrity of Morocco.
“People know more about Iran's nuclear activities, but Iran is also acting through proxies to destabilize North and West Africa,” the FM, Nasser Bourita, said in an interview with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) TV channel, on the sidelines of its annual meeting.
He also stressed that Iran threatens the territorial integrity of Morocco and its security by supporting the Polisario through providing it with arms and training its militia to attack Morocco, reminding that Iran is expanding its influence through Hezbollah.
“Iran’s activities in West Africa are damaging the moderate Islam that Morocco has been promoting for centuries in this region and connecting with some proxies, including militant non-state actors,” he said.
