Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated Wednesday that recent conflicts, referred to as the “Ramadan war,” demonstrate the failure of external actors to establish security in the region. He argued that the presence of these forces actively contributes to instability rather than resolving it. Ghalibaf’s comments suggest a need for a revised security framework focused on regional solutions. The speaker did not specify which “extra-regional forces” he was referencing, but the statement implies criticism of foreign military involvement in the Middle East. This assessment comes amid ongoing tensions and conflicts in several countries neighboring Iran. Ghalibaf’s remarks signal a call for a new vision prioritizing internal and regional cooperation for lasting peace and stability. The statement was made in Tehran on June 24th.
