"Iran is not after military dominance in the region," he said, urging the West to abandon hatching plots in the region.

Referring to the influential role of the Tehran in the region, Rouhani stated "the IRGC is the corps of peace and security not that of war."
Criticizing certain states for their military presence in the region, he said they are uninvited guests" who should leave the region. "Our region will be a flower garden without you (foreign forces)."

He urged the West to stop spreading Iranophobia among regional states.
"Iran supports the rule of people anywhere including in Syria, Iraq and the Palestine," said the President.
In parallel, he added that Tehran would support anyone who would be elected by the Syrian people to run the country.
