Tehran: Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has emphasized that national cohesion and the active presence of the people serve as important capital and a primary pillar of Iran's diplomatic authority. During a meeting on Sunday, Araghchi said that the true image of Iran's power on the global stage stems not only from its military capabilities but also from national cohesion, resilience, and the active involvement of its people.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the top Iranian diplomat said that the Iranian nation achieved not only tactical victories during the 12-day imposed war in June last year and the recent war, but also important strategic accomplishments whose impact can be observed in both regional and global equations.

He noted that recent events have dismantled the enemy's narrative of a weak and vulnerable Iran, showcasing the reality of the Islamic Republic's strength. Many regional and global observers now recognize that Iran has emerged from this war more powerful and unified, a transformation rooted in national solidarity and resistance, rather than solely in defensive capability, Araghchi added.

The foreign minister emphasized that during the recent war, the enemy aimed to impose its will and undermine the resolve of the Iranian nation, but the unity and presence of the people thwarted this objective. He noted that a clear message emerging from the days of war is that the Iranian nation will stand more united and resilient than ever in the face of pressure.

Regarding regional security developments, Araghchi said that the recent war demonstrated that regional security cannot be achieved by eliminating or disregarding Iran. He added that neighboring countries are gradually recognizing that sustainable security and regional stability can only be attained through cooperation, understanding, and consideration of the common interests shared by all nations in the region, including the Islamic Republic of Iran.
