The Islamic Republic of Iran wants good and constructive relations with all its neighbors, especially Arab countries on the southern border of the Persian Gulf, and this has been and is our constant policy. The security and stability of the Persian Gulf region can only be provided by the countries of the region, not by foreign powers. The 40-day war showed that the presence of American forces was a cause of insecurity even for the countries that host American military bases. The security of Iran and the countries of the region is related to each other. We expect that no country will hand over its territory to attackers to attack Iran's national security; Otherwise, Iran will take the necessary measures to defend itself. We hope that the neighboring countries have learned from the 12- and 40-day wars, and instead of relying on foreign powers, they will cooperate with each other to ensure peace and security in the region.
