Ali Karimi, the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Third Committee of the United Nations, reacted to the statements of the representative of Bahrain at an international meeting and emphasized Iran's right to legitimate defense against any aggression. Karimi stated clearly: "Iran has exercised its inherent right to legitimate defense against enemy aggressions."
Emphasis on Common Security
During this meeting, Ali Karimi addressed the representative of Bahrain, saying: "There are only two options. We either build security together in the region or we will endure insecurity together." This statement from Karimi clearly reflects his realistic and human perspective on the security situation in the Persian Gulf region, conveying the message to the audience that cooperation and solidarity among countries can be the only effective solution to security problems.
The Dimensions of the Iranian Representative's Statements
In his remarks, Ali Karimi also referred to the history of tensions in the region, stating: "Security is a collective concept and can only be achieved through cooperation and interaction. If countries think about cooperation instead of conflict and tension, they can achieve stronger security structures." These remarks are particularly significant in the current circumstances where tensions in the region have increased.
He also pointed to the challenges arising from foreign interventions and their negative impacts on regional security, emphasizing: "Unjustified and tension-creating interventions benefit no country and lead to more insecurity and instability."
Consequences of Cooperation or Tension
In conclusion, Ali Karimi urged the countries of the region to move towards dialogue and cooperation, away from slogans and provocative statements. He said: "If countries can engage in an atmosphere of cooperation and mutual respect, they can achieve sustainable security and prevent the human and financial costs resulting from wars and conflicts."
These statements by Ali Karimi, as Iran's representative in international forums, not only strengthen our country's position against baseless accusations but can also be seen as an invitation to cooperation and peace in the Persian Gulf region.
