Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Saturday called on countries in the region to remove United States forces from the Middle East as military operations continue, marking the 15th day of the ongoing conflict with the US and 'Israel'.
In a post on X, Araghchi criticized the so-called “US security umbrella”, saying it has proven to be full of gaps and instead of deterring threats, it brings problems to regional states.
He reiterated his call for “brotherly neighbors” to take action against what he described as foreign aggressors, referring to US bases and troops, and emphasized that regional security should rely on cooperation among countries themselves, without external interventions that worsen tensions.
Touted US security umbrella has proven to be full of holes and inviting rather than deterring trouble. US is now begging others, even China, to help it make Hormuz safe.
