TEHRAN (ISNA)-Iran said on Monday there is no other excuse for outsiders to send troops to the region following Osama Bin Laden's death.
"Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran believes that no excuse is left for foreign countries to send forces to the region to fight terrorism," said Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast.
"We hope the event (death of al-Qaeda leader) would end war, conflict and killing of innocent people and help establishment of peace and calm in the region."
"The issue (killing of Bin Laden) showed that there is no need to send a massive army to confront only one person."
"The Islamic Republic of Iran as the biggest victim of terrorism condemns any terrorist attempt in the world including organized crimes by Zionist regime," he continued.
The al-Qaeda leader died during a firefight in Abbottabad, Pakistan, U.S. President Barack Obama said in a televised address.
