Iran FM Says US, Israel and Europe Are Root of Most Wars

The framing here is a deliberate push to cast external powers as the problem and a Russia-Iran axis as the solution, which matters less for what it says than for what it sets up: a bid to shape the terms of any postwar regional security architecture before others define it. The audience is regional capitals weighing alignment, plus Moscow's effort to stay relevant beyond its own theater. Whether Gulf states engage with a framework 'designed by and for the region' — or treat it as cover for a rival bloc — is the open question.
