Iran's Foreign Ministry on Sunday accused the United States of using "Iranophobia" to create regional tension during President Joe Biden's visit to the Middle East, Reuters reported.

"The United States has once again sought to create tension and crisis in the region by appealing to the failed policy of Iranophobia," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani was quoted as having said.

On Thursday, Kanaani responded to Biden’s visit to Israel and said that as long as Washington's main goal was to maintain "the fake state of Israel's security," the Middle East will not achieve stability and peace.

"As long as the fake state of Israel is the first stop on the American presidents’ visits to the region and their first goal is to maintain its security and superiority, the regional nations and countries will not achieve peace and stability," he said.
