Iran Rejects Any Change in Regional Borders
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi expressed the country’s categorical opposition to any redrawing of boundaries in the region.
“Regional peace, security and stability is not merely a preference, but a pillar of our national security,” Araqchi said in a post on his X account on Thursday.
“Any threat from North, South, East, or West to territorial integrity of our neighbors or redrawing of boundaries is totally unacceptable and a red line for Iran,” he underlined.
His comments came after many in Iran cautioned against the negative geopolitical consequences of the so-called Zangezur corridor that is designed to link the Republic of Azerbaijan with Nakhchivan without Armenian checkpoints, advising Russia to back off from endorsing the controversial idea.
Iranian officials have time and again expressed opposition to any change in the international boundaries or the geopolitics of the region.
In a telephone conversation with his Armenian counterpart on August 23, Araqchi reaffirmed Tehran’s support for the territorial integrity of the regional countries, including Armenia, and highlighted Iran’s opposition to any change in the international boundaries.
