The preparation of the Islamic Republic of Iran for the establishment of the Union of the Persian Gulf States.
General Razai, Secretary of the Supreme Council for National Security, in an interview with Al-Mayadeen:
West Asian countries are like vessels connected to each other and the insecurity in any country spreads quickly to other countries. The economy and security of these countries are also interdependent, and we emphasize that the war must end in the entire region, including Lebanon, in order to establish security in all countries and create a basis for progress.
We believe that the security of the region should be provided by the countries of the region and foreign powers should not be the determining factor in the security arrangements.
Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Oman are eight countries around the Persian Gulf and we are determined to create a union between these countries so that they can cooperate widely in economic, security and other fields.
In these attacks, we only hit American military bases, and not a single citizen from Arab countries was hurt, and this despite the fact that in any war civilians may be hurt, but we tried very carefully not to hurt the residents of the neighboring countries.
The branches of the Islamic Republic of Iran are open to cooperation with brotherly and neighboring countries and we are ready for extensive cooperation in economic, security and other fields.
