Iranian President proposes joint security arrangements with neighbours
Iran’s president says his country wants to work with nearby countries to improve security.
He says this offer is based on Iran’s experience of war, not weakness.
He proposed that Muslim countries promise not to attack one another.
He also said countries should not let their land, airspace or facilities be used for attacks.
The plan would include working together on security and economic projects.
These projects could involve infrastructure, trade, investment and clean energy.
He also said the war with the United States should eventually end.
He described a June peace memorandum as honourable and said it did not require Iran to surrender.
Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran is ready to develop joint security arrangements with neighbouring states.
He proposed a mutual security and non-aggression treaty among Muslim countries.
The proposal includes respecting territorial integrity and not allowing national territory or facilities to support attacks.
Pezeshkian urged cooperation on regional security, infrastructure, trade, investment and clean energy.
He separately said the war with the United States should end while Iran is in a position of power and dignity.
