Orientul Mijlociu "nu are nevoie de un jandarm regional"

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the Middle East does not require a regional 'gendarme' like the United States, emphasizing the need for local actors to ensure security. He expressed that despite the injustices faced by Iran, the country prioritizes peace over war. The ongoing blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has contributed to rising oil prices, which recently surpassed $100 per barrel.
