Contrary to the United States, which is promoting war in the region through its support for Israel, the Islamic Republic is \u201cthe pillar and anchor of stability\u201d in the region, Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesman says. In an X post on Tuesday, Nasser Kan\u2019ani cited Tehran\u2019s hosting of the second 3+3 regional platform meeting, dubbed Time for Peace, Cooperation, and Progress in the South Caucasus, as an example of Iran\u2019s efforts towards collective security in the region. \u201cWhile the United States and some of its allies are escalating war-mongering, instability and insecurity in the region by lending unswerving support to the villain Zionist regime, Tehran was host to the second meeting of the 3+3 regional platform,\u201d he wrote. \u201cIran remains the pillar and anchor of stability and security in the region on the basis of indigenous collective security doctrine.\u201d Kan\u2019ani also noted that Iran believes that the regional countries have the power to resolve their problems and ensure sustainable security and stability in line with common interests and collective progress. \u201cSuch a strategy could lead to more benefits and sustainable development for our region only when all our countries pursue a similar approach without the profit-seeking interference of trans-regional players,\u201d he added. The 3+3 consultative platform, comprising the three South Caucasus countries of Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan plus Russia, Turkey, and Iran, was established in an attempt to settle regional issues without foreign interference. The first 3+3 meeting was held in Moscow in December 2021 at the level of deputy foreign ministers and without the presence of Georgia. The second meeting was held in Tehran on Monday, with the participants emphasizing in their final statement \u201cthe importance of peaceful settlement of disputes, respect for sovereignty, political independence, territorial integrity, inviolability of internationally recognized borders, non-interference in internal affairs, prohibition on the threat or use of force and respect for human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
