Tensions are currently being observed in relations with the Persian Gulf countries, and this is quite natural given the conflicts that have taken place. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said this.

"During the 40-day war, we struck American bases in the region and even beyond it, as well as American military facilities and gathering points for American troops. We believe that these actions were taken solely within the framework of the right to self-defense.

We are constantly in contact with the countries of the region and explain to them that we harbor no hostility toward these countries.

I think that at the regional level there is a general understanding that Iran's actions are not driven by hostility toward the countries of the region, but are due to other reasons that are known and understood by everyone.

In my view, after tensions subside, we should enter a period of confidence-building with these countries. I see in them a desire to restore this trust. After all, we are neighbors and will remain neighbors. We must be able to live together in peace.

A collective understanding has now formed in the region that security and stability must be ensured collectively. Countries cannot provide security only for themselves, especially by relying on foreign powers, while their neighbors face instability or economic problems," he noted.
