The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that achieving sustainable security and regional development will be possible through the cooperation and collective participation of neighbors. From this perspective, Iran's regional policy can be analyzed around three objectives:
The first goal; the emphasis is on sustainable security in the region and the negation of destabilizing currents in the region.
The second goal; Positive action is aimed at eliminating insecurity in the region and building trust in constructive and friendly relations between the region and neighboring countries.
The third goal; To provide constructive perspectives to create common security solutions to end regional conflicts and wars with the cooperation of countries in the region. Experience has shown that collective interests will be realized within the framework of cooperation and understanding.
With tensions between the countries of the region, the conflict remains and this is only in the interest of the interveners and foreigners. The importance of this issue becomes clear when a common understanding is reached in recognizing the insecurity factors in the region.
Dialogue and consultation on regional issues in the new international context can help build understanding among the countries of the region. Unfortunately, some regional actors have caused insecurity and instability in the region by insisting on continuing their belligerent policies. The propaganda atmosphere of the United States and the Israeli circles and some European countries about the regional role and defense capabilities of Iran in the context of the 'Vienna' negotiations for the lifting of US sanctions is progressing and achieving the same goal.

In its foreign policy, the Islamic Republic of Iran seeks stability and security and having the best relations with its neighbors. In addition to economic aspects, Iran's good with its neighbors are also strategically important for maintaining collective security in the region. Economic, trade and investment between neighbors is of course to the benefit of all countries in the region. Interfering and destructive elements in the region are well aware that the definitive result of improving relations between Iran and neighboring countries is strengthening regional security without the need for foreigners in all arenas. Iran's security policy in the region is based on the doctrine of collective security, and accordingly, Iran considers insecurity in the region to the detriment of all countries in the region.
The current situation in the region demands that dialogue and negotiation to resolve disputes must be replaced by hostile tensions and approaches.
