Trans-regional powers cannot ensure security in the Middle East

The Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said at an International Conference on Security in Tehran that the Trans-regional powers are incapable of ensuring security in the Middle East and the Iranian interference in the region has been aimed at supporting Israel or fomenting crises. The social and political situation of the regional nations preclude any chance of success for foreign powers, he added, saying outsiders lack competence to ensure regional security because their interference in the region has been aimed at backing the Israeli regime.“These acts of interference have been a main factor in the spread of terrorism in the region; NATO’s presence in Afghanistan for countering terrorism has been ineffective, and the war on Iraq also created terrorism in the region,” he explained.
