At International Dialogue Forum: Araghchi rejects imposed Western reality on region
At the Tehran International Dialogue Forum, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasized that "Israel's" war on Gaza has exposed the deep failure of international systems and the urgent need for West Asia to reclaim its destiny from foreign powers. He asserted that what is portrayed as “regional reality by these powers is, in fact, a fabricated narrative solely based on their interests." Highlighting Iran’s active role in BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), and the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), Araghchi reaffirmed Tehran’s vision for "a balanced and fair multipolar international order."
