Iran’s active diplomacy amid regional wars
By Abed Akbari

The current Iranian government assumed office amid unprecedented conflict and unrest in West Asia. On the day of President Masoud Pezeshkian’s swearing-in, the Israeli regime carried out a terrorist attack, assassinating Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh who was in Tehran for the inauguration ceremony. Following the assassination, the Islamic Republic of Iran, in a sense, got into direct confrontation with the Israeli regime, ten months after Operation Al-Aqsa Storm. Subsequent assassinations of resistance leaders, particularly Secretary General of Hezbollah Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, placed the region on the brink of a large-scale war.
Since then, the Iranian government has pursued a multilayered military deterrent strategy while also implementing an active and unprecedented diplomatic campaign. These diplomatic efforts complemented military endeavors, fostering effective deterrence.
