Why it matters:
The developments in West Asia since the Gaza War on October 7, 2023, have been extremely tense, especially in the last few months. The actions of the Zionist regime and the all-out support of the new U.S. administration for the crimes of the Zionist regime in Palestine and Syria have put the region on the verge of greater tensions.
The big picture:
After the escalation of tensions in the region, many parties in West Asia are seeking to mediate to end the tensions, but it seems that with the continued genocide of the Palestinians and the efforts of the resistance in Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon to support the Palestinian people on the one hand, and the tension-building efforts of the U.S. and Israel on the other, the region may be on the verge of greater tension.
What he's saying:
During the meeting, Hakim asserted that the current developments in West Asia should neither be underestimated nor exaggerated.
He noted that Iraq's stability, achieved across various dimensions, has a constructive impact on regional stability. Today, Iraq plays a significant role in the region and is actively engaging with all parties to promote peace and stability.
The cleric also stressed the importance of strengthening cooperation between Tehran and Baghdad, as well as leveraging shared interests between the neighboring countries.
Additionally, he highlighted the necessity of stability in Syria and the importance of including all segments of the Syrian population in the political decision-making process, ensuring the protection of all groups.
Finally, Hakim condemned the resumption of attacks by the Israeli regime on Gaza and Lebanon, emphasizing the urgent need for international action to deter the occupying regime and halt these assaults.
