 IRAN said on Friday that a joint statement by the U.S. and the Gulf Cooperation Council contained "interventionist, irresponsible and provocative positions", and said the U.S. military presence in the Gulf was a source of insecurity and division in the region.

In the statement by Iran's foreign ministry, Iran also reiterated its position that the Strait of Hormuz should be governed with Oman in line with terms of MOU with the United States.
