Iranian
President Hassan Rouhani said on Monday stability could not be achieved
in the Middle East without Tehran's help, responding to criticism from
US President Donald Trump who is visiting the region.
Trump called for a US alliance with Muslim countries aimed
at fighting "terrorism", singling out Iran as a major source of funding
and support for armed groups in the Arab world.
Rouhani, a pragmatist who won last week's presidential
election, hit back hard by dismissing the summit as a "ceremonial
[event] that had no political value and will bear no results".
"Who can say regional stability can be restored without
Iran? Who can say the region will experience total stability without
Iran?" he said at a news conference.
