Iran slams U.S. military presence in Middle East as threat to stability

Tehran (Iran), Nov 4 (UNI) Iran condemned the U.S. military presence in the Middle East on Monday, calling it a threat to regional stability amid rising tensions following recent Israeli strikes on Iranian soil.
"The U.S. presence in the region undermines regional stability," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei told reporters in Tehran at his weekly press conference, responding to Washington's latest military build-up that includes the deployment of B-52 bombers.
The U.S. Central Command confirmed on Saturday that B-52 bombers had arrived in the Middle East. It is the first time that B-52s have deployed to a base in the region since 2019 and widely seen as deterrence against potential Iranian retaliation for Israeli airstrikes on its territory last month.
