IRNA – Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said late on Monday that Iran owes its security and stability to its people, as it relies on them in every matter.


In a televised speech on ‘Iran’s Regional and International Relations’, he described Iran as the safest and most stable country in the region, saying that security is not something to buy from outside the country.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran believes in its people and relies on them,” he said, noting that security comes from public contribution and polls and not from abroad.

Certain regional states want to ‘buy security from outside’ and they are spending huge sums of money to purchase arms from foreign countries, he said.
