Iran Pushes for New Middle East Security Bloc Without US and Israel

Iran has called for the creation of a new regional security and military alliance in the Middle East that excludes both the United States and Israel, signaling an effort to reshape the region’s strategic order amid intensifying conflict.

Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, described the current crisis as a turning point, urging regional countries to assume collective responsibility for their security without reliance on external powers.

Presenting ongoing US-Israeli strikes as the start of a “new phase,” he called for a unified response and proposed a joint framework based on shared regional and Islamic values.

Zolfaghari argued that dependence on outside actors has failed to ensure lasting stability, advocating instead for a cooperative security structure centered on regional autonomy.

The proposal comes as hostilities continue to escalate, with Iran responding to attacks through missile and drone strikes, heightening fears of a wider regional conflict.

While the initiative reflects Tehran’s attempt to build regional consensus, its viability remains uncertain, as many Middle Eastern states maintain deep security ties with Washington.

The move highlights a growing geopolitical divide and competing visions over the future of security architecture in the Middle East.
