On June 26, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman BAGHAEI posted on social media
that Iran is more concerned than any other party about regional collective
security and described the actions of Gulf Cooperation Council member states as
"disappointing." He said Iran’s military capability guarantees the people’s
exercise of their inherent right of self‑defense and underpins regional peace
and stability. National security and national dignity are not for trade or
conditionality; the inherent right of self‑defense will not be a subject for
negotiation, and measures to safeguard it will not be compromised with any
party.
