Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif stressed that the only way to establish security and peace is through extensive cooperation between the countries of the region.

Iran Press/Iran News: "Dear neighbors, there is an opportunity to rethink the security of the region," Zarif wrote in a Twitter message in Arabic on Thursday night.

He said that security could not be bought or established by accumulating weapons, adding: "the only way to establish security and peace is extensive cooperation between the countries of the region, and Iran has always declared its readiness to cooperate in this regard."

The Iranian Foreign Ministry has always invited the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf to cooperate in providing security instead of receiving help from foreign countries outside of the region. 219
