Pezeshkian: The presence of extra-regional forces in the region can only destabilize the situation

The presence of extra-regional forces in the region can only destabilize the situation, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said during a meeting in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“I and our supreme leader believe that our regional issues should be resolved solely through agreements among the countries of the region,” Pezeshkian said.

He noted that bilateral relations with Russia are of strategic importance and are comprehensive in nature. The Iranian side intends to continue close dialogue.
