6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is Iran's "Neighborhood First" policy?
It is a diplomatic strategy prioritizing the restoration and expansion of political, economic, and security ties with neighboring Persian Gulf and Eurasian nations.

The agreement brought widespread de-escalation, ended proxy friction in Yemen and Syria, and foiled Western attempts to construct an anti-Iran regional bloc.

Foreign military presence creates tension, encourages weapons sales, and turns the region into an arena for superpower competition rather than peaceful trade.
