Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that Tehran proposes to create a structure to guarantee the security of the Middle East with the participation of the countries of the region.
Pezeshkian added, in a speech he delivered on the occasion of the Iranian New Year: “We are ready to resolve all issues with you. To ensure peace and tranquility in the region, we propose the creation of a Middle East security structure that includes Islamic countries to guarantee peace, stability and security.”
According to the Iranian president, Middle Eastern countries do not need the presence of "strangers" in the region.
On February 28, the United States and Israel began bombing targets in Iran, including Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran, in turn, launched retaliatory strikes on Israeli territory, as well as targeting US military installations in the Middle East. As a result, fuel prices rose in most countries worldwide due to the de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for oil and liquefied natural gas supplies from the Persian Gulf to global markets.
