In an interview with the Al-Manar network on Thursday, Iranian security official Mohsen Rezaei emphasized the interconnected nature of regional security. According to reports from the Iranian news agency IRNA, Rezaei asserted that the security of Lebanon is fundamentally tied to the security of the wider West Asian region.

Rezaei’s comments included a formal appeal for the cessation of military operations and active wars currently taking place in Lebanon, Gaza, and Syria. He warned that the persistence of these conflicts poses a significant risk to all nations in the region. Specifically, he argued that continued tension would inevitably result in negative political, economic, and security consequences for every country in the area.

While the report highlights Iran's perspective on regional security, it does not provide reactions from other regional powers or international stakeholders regarding these statements. The focus of the remarks remains on the necessity of de-escalation to preserve the collective stability of the Middle East.
