Foreign Minister of Iran: The recent conflict has shown that countries without American military bases have suffered less

On 18 local time, Iranian Foreign Minister Aragazi stated that the recent conflict had shown that countries that had not established a United States military base were less damaged and that the United States base could not even protect its interests from the resistance. Aragazi noted that Qatar and Pakistan had played an effective good offices role between Iran and the United States and that relations between Tehran and Qatar were at a very good stage. He stressed that a new security concept for the Middle East region must be based on “common security” and the resolution of economic imbalances, and that lasting peace in the Persian Gulf region would not be possible without full cooperation。
