New Security Order Needed to Uphold Regional Stability

The path toward resolving heightened tensions in the region passes through inclusive cooperation on security issues, not calling emergency meetings and forming new coalitions against Iran, says an expert.   
"Instead of special summits aimed at forging new alliances, our region needs a joint security system with the participation of all regional countries to make the presence of foreign forces unjustified," Mohammad Mehdi Mazaheri wrote in a recent article published by the Iranian Diplomacy website.
He was referring to urgent meetings of the [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council and the Arab League, which have been called by Saudi Arabia to discuss recent "aggressions and their consequences" in Mecca on May 30.
