Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has called on regional countries to adopt a responsible stance and work toward a collective security mechanism without American intervention, according to recent reports.

He said regional states should take the lead in ensuring peace and stability in West Asia, instead of relying on outside powers. The remarks come amid continued tensions in the region and Tehran’s repeated criticism of US involvement in regional affairs.

Iranian officials have recently argued that security in the region should be shaped by neighboring countries through cooperation and mutual understanding. Araghchi’s latest comments reflect that position, as he urged regional governments to coordinate more closely to protect stability and reduce external interference.

In earlier statements, the Iranian foreign minister has also called for the withdrawal of US forces from the region and said Iran’s position is aimed at opposing aggression rather than targeting regional countries.

The statement adds to Tehran’s broader push for a regional security framework built by local actors. Iranian media reports have linked the foreign minister’s remarks to ongoing diplomatic efforts centered on collective action, regional cooperation, and opposition to foreign intervention.
