BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 11. Iran considers any
possible interference that could undermine the security of the
region unacceptable, the spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign
Ministry, Esmail Baghaei, said at a press conference today,
Trend reports.
According to him, Iran believes that regional security and
stability can be achieved by strengthening collective trust between
and among regional countries. Such security can indeed be relied
upon.
“The events of the past 60 days have demonstrated that the
involvement of external forces in the region has increased
instability and tension,” he noted.
Meanwhile, as no tangible progress was made in the nuclear
negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the situation escalated on
February 28, when the United States and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran. In retaliation, Iran initiated missile and
drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. installations in the
region. Following these developments, a two-week ceasefire
agreement was brokered on April 7 through Pakistan's mediation.
However, during subsequent talks between the U.S. and Iran in
Islamabad on April 11, no consensus was reached.
In addition, on April 21, U.S. President Donald Trump announced
an extension of the ceasefire until Iran submits its proposal and
the negotiations are concluded in one way or another.
