Iran’s Parliament Speaker Says Regional Security Order Is Changing After 40-Day War

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has said that the security landscape of the region is undergoing a major transformation following what he described as a 40-day war.

Speaking about the latest regional developments, Ghalibaf said Iran is witnessing changes in the regional security system and believes the new environment will involve less interference by external powers and actors from outside the region.

Ghalibaf Highlights Changing Regional Security Landscape

According to Ghalibaf, the 40-day conflict has changed the strategic environment across the region. He said the developments following the war are creating a different security structure in which regional countries are expected to play a greater role in determining their own affairs.

His comments come amid continued discussions over the future of security arrangements in the Middle East and the role of international powers in regional conflicts.

Iran Says External Interference Is Declining

Ghalibaf said that, under the emerging security system, the involvement of foreign powers and actors outside the region in regional affairs is rapidly declining.

The Iranian parliament speaker presented the development as a shift toward greater regional ownership of security and political matters. His remarks suggest that Tehran believes countries in the region will increasingly determine security arrangements without relying heavily on outside powers.

What Does the Changing Security System Mean?

A changing regional security system could have implications for relations between Iran and other Middle Eastern countries. It could also affect the role played by major international powers that have historically maintained military, political and strategic interests in the region.

The Middle East has remained a key area of international competition because of its strategic location, energy resources and importance to global trade routes.

Any significant change in regional security arrangements could therefore influence diplomatic relations, military cooperation and future political developments.

Iran’s Position on Regional Affairs

Iran has repeatedly emphasized that regional countries should play the leading role in determining the future of the Middle East.

Tehran has also criticized the presence and influence of foreign military powers in the region, arguing that regional security should be managed by countries located within the region.

Ghalibaf’s latest remarks appear consistent with that broader Iranian position.

Regional Security Remains a Major Issue

The future of the Middle East’s security structure remains uncertain as countries continue to reassess their strategic relationships following recent conflicts.

The role of Iran, Gulf countries, Türkiye and other regional states will remain important in determining how the emerging security environment develops.

At the same time, the continued involvement of major global powers means that any major change in the regional balance is likely to have international consequences.

Analysis

Ghalibaf’s statement reflects Iran’s view that the latest conflict could mark a turning point in the regional security landscape.

The most important question now is whether the decline in external influence that he described will translate into a lasting regional security arrangement. That will depend on relations between regional countries, future diplomatic agreements and the ability of governments to manage their differences without escalation.

If regional states increasingly take responsibility for security arrangements, it could represent a significant shift in the Middle East. However, the long-term direction will become clearer only as diplomatic and security developments unfold.

  US Deploys Explosive Sea Drones The Pakistan Times  Islamabad Times Reports indicate that for the first time, the United States has used one-way attack sea drones in a major military operation against Iran. These drones are small, fast, unmanned boats that carry explosive payloads and can destroy enemy ships or coastal targets. Ukraine has successfully used similar drones against Russia, and Iran has also been reported to develop and use such unmanned maritime systems. The US deployment of this technology in a formal operation marks a significant shift in modern warfare. How Do These Drones Work? The US system is not just a single drone but a network. According to US officials, the Corsair drone is 24 feet long, can carry up to 1,000 pounds of equipment, and travels at 35 knots. It is equipped with 360-degree cameras and radar.

How Volker Türk Secured a New Term as UN Human Rights Chief Despite US, Israeli and Russian Opposition no The Pakistan Times — Islamabad, July 25, 2026 The United Nations General Assembly has voted overwhelmingly to grant Volker Türk a second four-year term as the UN's human rights chief, despite strong objections from the United States, Israel, and Russia, making him the first person to serve two full terms in the role since it was created in 1993. The Pakistan Times explains who Türk is, why his reappointment proved contentious, and what the vote reveals about divisions within the world body. The Vote Member states in the 193-nation General Assembly voted 144 in favour to 10 against, with 13 abstentions, to reappoint Türk on Friday. Ahead of the vote, the assembly had also rejected a US proposal to delay the decision by roughly a week, as well as a separate Russian proposal that would have extended Türk's term only until the end of 2026 rather than granting him a full four mo...
