Tasnim � Past experiences show that Iran does not remain silent in the face of moves aimed at destabilizing the region, Head of Iran�s Strategic Council on Foreign Relations Kamal Kharrazi said.

�We have proved that we do not remain silent on instability in the region but stand against destabilizing moves,� Kharrazi, a former foreign minister, said on Monday.

Describing Iran as the most stable country in the region, he added, �Following the wars in the region, everybody is coming to the conclusion that it is not possible to resolve conflicts through war.�

Kharrazi concluded that what happened in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen proved that the Islamic Republic of Iran�s regional presence contributes to security.

In comments in September, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, a top military aide to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, said sustainable security in the region would be impossible without Iran.

Hailing Iran�s contribution to the security of regional countries at the request of their governments, he said the Islamic Republic has inspired regional governments and nations in such a way that �Americans have to pull out of West Asia, east of the Euphrates river in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.�
