Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi criticized U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), questioning whether it has brought security or insecurity to the region, according to reports. He said Iran's armed forces have proven that foreign forces cannot defend themselves, and that peace will only be possible when it is comprehensive and without external intervention.
The Zioneer reported earlier today that Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi rejected CENTCOM's planned security talks in Bahrain, arguing that the Strait of Hormuz is under Iran's command. Foreign Minister Araghchi's statement continues this line, directly attacking CENTCOM's role in the region. Araghchi's remarks echo his previous warnings that Iran's armed forces will respond to any attack, and that regional stability requires a deterrence mechanism without U.S. intervention. The statement comes amid ongoing diplomatic exchanges between Iran and the U.S. regarding regional security arrangements.
