Speaking at the 8th Conference on the History of Iran’s Foreign Policy in Tehran, Araghchi emphasized several key points regarding Iran’s approach to security in the Persian Gulf:

  • Native Forces for Security: The Islamic Republic of Iran has adopted a strategy focused on enhancing maximum security in the Persian Gulf by relying on local forces.
  • Unparalleled Role: Iran’s contributions to ensuring security in the Persian Gulf have been described as unparalleled, reflecting its commitment to the region.
  • Strategic Importance: Throughout history, the Persian Gulf has been recognized as one of the most vital waterways, attracting significant foreign interference due to its civilizational importance.
  • Defense Doctrine: Understanding the Persian Gulf’s strategic value, Iran aims to provide sustainable stability and security, thereby ensuring freedom of shipping.
  • Challenge of Extra-Regional Powers: Araghchi pointed out that certain extra-regional powers have sought to keep the Persian Gulf a hotspot for crises to further their own interests, often through militarization and the sale of weapons in the region.
  • Failure of Exclusion Policies: The efforts to exclude Iran from regional arrangements and the ongoing economic war against the Islamic Republic have not succeeded.

Araghchi concluded with optimism, stating, “Happily, we are witnessing a new paradigm taking shape that could herald an era of flourishing inclusive relations.” This statement reflects Iran’s diplomatic efforts aimed at fostering cooperation and stability in the Persian Gulf, paving the way for a promising future.
