Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has reiterated that any future security architecture in the Middle East must be based on collective participation and cooperation among all regional countries, arguing that lasting peace and stability cannot be achieved by excluding Iran.
Speaking during meetings with notable public figures and religious leaders, Araghchi said efforts to shape regional security without Iran are unrealistic and counterproductive. He maintained that constructive engagement and mutual understanding serve the common interests of all countries in the region.
The foreign minister added that regional governments increasingly acknowledge that security, economic growth, and sustainable stability depend on cooperation rather than confrontation.
