Iran Calls for Meaningful Dialogue with Persian Gulf States, States Strategic Council Head

In a recent address, Kamal Kharrazi, the head of Iran’s Strategic Council of Foreign Relations, emphasized the necessity of serious dialogue between Iran and the Persian Gulf littoral countries. This dialogue is viewed as a fundamental element for achieving stability in the region.

In conclusion, he asserted, “The future of this region depends on enhanced partnership among its nations, and Iran is ready for extensive collaboration.”
