In an interview with Qatar’s Al Jazeera TV network, Rear Admiral Shahram Irani, the Navy Commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran, said on Wednesday that enemies must reassess their stance toward the West Asia region, emphasizingthat the regional states can guarantee their own security.
The commander stated that the region is no longer what it used to be, and its countries are equipped to ensure their safety; therefore, foes must change their policies and respect regional nations.
Rear Admiral Irani also said that the Islamic Republic’s message to adversaries is that the country will not be isolated and it will not accept such a fate. He stated that the behavior of Iranians, particularly in the current regional context, aligns with international laws.
He further said that insecurity and instability in the region would have negative repercussions on the global economy, adding that the Islamic Republic of Iran is prepared to share its experiences with regional countries.
Naval forces from Iran, Russia, and China, along with observers from Azerbaijan, South Africa, Oman, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Qatar, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, and Sri Lanka, are participating in the 7th Combined Maritime Security Belt 2025 exercise, which commenced on Monday, March 10, in the northern Indian Ocean.
