Tehran, YJC. Expediency Council Secretary has proposed to launch a regional security council.
Speaking
in a meeting with regional ambassadors to Tehran on South-west Asia cooperation,

constructive cooperation and prevent foreign military forces to appear in the
region.”
The
Secretary of the Expediency Discernment Council of Iran added "It is to regret
that a kind of void prevails in the region which has caused much insecurity. We
are to witness many excruciating incidents in the region, circumstances in
Pakistan, Syria, Bahrain, Palestine, and Iraq.”
Rezaei
also believed the UN to suffer a kind of passiveness in maintaining security
over the region and stated "With a union in the region we could establish good
relations with other countries of the world and move toward a fair accommodation
of regional opportunities. We can form a geopolitical zone with which outside
countries can have cooperating markets in sections such as energy.”
He also
added that a conference will be held for strengthening relations in the region
and stated that since security, peace, and development are three inter-related
issues, important steps will be taken likewise in the future.
