UNITED NATIONS, September 25 (RIA Novosti) - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Thursday dismissed claims that Tehran is seeking domination in the Muslim world as an attempt to fuel and spread Iranophobia.
"The notion that Iran seeks to control other Muslim countries in the region is a myth fanned in the recent years in the context of an Iranophobic project," Rouhani said in an address to the UN General Assembly.
The president stressed that his country always tries to build constructive relations with neighbors "on the basis of mutual respect and with emphasis on common interests.
"We work towards putting an end to delusional Iranophobia, setting the stage for building strategic partnerships with our neighbors," he said.
