Tehran, March 21, 2026, BNN Desk Staff : Amid escalating tensions in West Asia, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has called for the creation of an \u201cIslamic Assembly of the Middle East,\u201d stressing that Iran does not seek conflict with neighbouring Islamic nations.<\/p>\n
In a message issued on the occasion of Nowruz and Eid al-Fitr, Pezeshkian emphasised that regional countries must come together to resolve their differences and avoid external interference.

The President also extended condolences following recent attacks, including the reported killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, amid ongoing hostilities involving Iran, Israel, and the United States.<\/p>\n
Pezeshkian criticised Israel, accusing it of contributing to instability, violence, and unrest in the region. He urged neighbouring countries not to \u201cfall into traps set by enemies\u201d and instead work collectively to ensure peace and security.<\/p>\n
Reiterating Iran\u2019s stance, he said the country considers other Muslim nations as \u201cbrothers\u201d and is ready to resolve disputes through dialogue.
\nHe also proposed the development of a regional Islamic security framework to strengthen cooperation in political, economic, and cultural spheres.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no need for foreign presence in the region. Together, we can ensure peace and stability,\u201d he said, adding that unity and solidarity are essential to overcoming current challenges.<\/p>\n
