Araghchi proposes new regional security framework
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran is ready to partner with Persian Gulf states to build a new regional security architecture, arguing that recent events had demonstrated the need for regional countries to take responsibility for their own security.
Speaking after a meeting with Iraqi National Security Adviser Qasim al-Aboudi, Araghchi said regional powers should draw lessons from recent months and collectively shape the region's future security arrangements.
He said any security framework should also include economic cooperation and stressed that military powers from outside the region should be excluded.
