Iran’s foreign minister calls for the establishment of a security framework with Gulf countries, just hours after Iran attacked Bahrain and Kuwait in response to US strikes.

“We should reach a new framework that includes all countries in the region and without the presence or interference of any country from outside the region,” Abbas Araghchi says at a news conference on a visit to Iraqi capital Baghdad.
