Iran’s military chief: New world order will be regional
The chief of the general staff of Iran’s Armed Forces said on Tuesday that the principle policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran has always been based on the formation of regional security arrangements, without the involvement of extra-regional powers.
Major General Mohammad Baqeri made the remarks while visiting the University of Strategic and Defense Studies of Oman in Muscat.
Baqeri, who arrived in Oman on Sunday to discuss security developments with high-ranking Omani authorities, addressed the professors and students at the university.
Exploring the dimensions of the new world order, Iran’s military chief said that the new world order will be a regional one.
“What is certain is that there are definite and vast fields of convergence in the nations of the region and, sooner or later, they will overcome pretentious differences and divergence indicators,” Baqeri stated.
Explaining Iran’s idea of regional security, the top Iranian military official highlighted that just as Tehran considers one of the basic indicators of reassuring defense to be of indigenous nature, which is self-reliance, it also considers the basis of reassuring security to be a sort of regional security, in which all the countries of the region participate and no foreign power is involved.
