Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the experience of the US-Israeli war against Iran shows that US military presence in the region does not bring security to host countries.

“It only causes insecurity and division in the region,” Araghchi said Sunday as he met Sultan Haitham bin Tariq of Oman in Muscat, where they discussed bilateral relations, latest regional developments, and ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving regional crises.

Araghchi further urged countries of the region to revise their security policies and revert toward a collective approach to ensure internal regional security without US interference.

During the meeting at the al-Baraka Palace, the top diplomat briefed the Omani monarch about the Iranian side’s viewpoints on the latest developments in the West Asia region following the US-Israeli war of aggression against the Islamic Republic, and attempts to address them.

Araghchi also expressed Iran’s appreciation for the positions of the Sultanate of Oman in supporting dialogue and promoting efforts aimed at enhancing security and stability in the region, particularly in light of current regional challenges.
