Ali Bagheri Kani, the deputy secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said in a speech before senior officials and high-ranking security representatives from over 120 countries in Moscow at the 14th International Meeting of High-Ranking Security Officials, that Iran is prepared for constructive dialogue and sustainable cooperation with all responsible countries towards establishing a new security equation in West Asia.
“Today, West Asia—particularly the Persian Gulf region—needs a new security equation; an equation that can dry up the root causes of crisis and prevent the recurrence of war and instability,” he said, reported IRNA. “The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that by strengthening cooperation and simultaneously focusing on security and development, the legitimate interests of all countries can be secured, and a new and just order can be established—one based on the principles of endogenous security, indivisibility, and independence from non-indigenous and extra-regional forces.”
He continued: “Following the doctrine of the martyred Leader Imam Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and his successor, and emphasizing the three principles of ‘unity, independence, and resistance’, the Islamic Republic of Iran aims to create a fair order that rejects hegemony and domination, while fostering trust and collaboration. The Islamic Republic of Iran is prepared to engage in constructive dialogue and sustainable cooperation with all responsible countries in the region to achieve such an order.”
Bagheri Kani also blasted the Abraham Accords as anything but a peace initiative, saying instead that the true name of this plan should be the “Pharaoh Accords.” Bagheri Kani asserted that, through deceit, the United States and Israel have tried to remove the cause of Palestine, and the rights of its oppressed people from the regional agenda. They mistakenly believe that by normalizing relations with some countries, the Palestinian issue will be forgotten, he added. “In practice, by proposing the so-called Abraham Accords, they have challenged the security of the region, because the goal of such accords is not normalization, but the enslavement of nations.”
