TEHRAN – The Iranian parliament is drafting a defense and security pact to be signed among “Resistance groups and their supporting countries”, according to reports by Iranian media. 

The proposed legislation seeks to create a common defense structure designed to counter external threats, particularly from the United States and Israel. According to the text of the proposal, all member countries or freedom movements will be required to provide comprehensive support—including military, economic, and political assistance—should any member state come under attack from Israel or its allies.

Key clauses within the proposal stipulate that any freedom movements included in this pact must receive approval from Iran's Supreme National Security Council. Additionally, the executive regulations for the pact, including the establishment of a secretariat and the delineation of responsibilities among various agencies, will also be overseen by this council.

One of the most significant aspects of the proposal is the establishment of a joint military headquarters intended to facilitate coordination between Iranian forces and Resistance groups. The headquarters would serve as a central command for managing military operations and crisis response, reinforcing operational capabilities through planned joint military exercises.

The representative who introduced the proposal to Iranian media emphasized that this pact aims not only to enhance military cooperation but also to bolster infrastructure development for Resistance groups. Collaboration in building military bases and training centers is expected to improve readiness against potential threats.

As Israeli aggressions in the region persist, the formation of this defense structure could pave the way for greater stability and security among member countries. If successfully implemented, it is believed that this alliance could significantly shift the balance of power in the region, presenting a formidable counterweight to Western influence seeking to wreak havoc in West Asia to Israel’s benefit.
