CSTO Warns of Potential Escalation Threatening Caspian Sea Security
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the Secretary-General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), TalatBik Mosaddef, stated that a potential military incursion by the United States and the Zionist regime into Iranian territory could have consequences extending beyond West Asia, directly affecting the security of the Caspian Sea region.
During a joint press conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Mosaddef remarked, “A war by the United States and Israel against Iran could impact not only the situation in West Asia but also the security situation of the Caspian Sea.”
He emphasized the importance of security in this body of water, noting that the Caspian Sea region falls directly within the purview of the CSTO’s responsibilities.
These warnings come amidst growing concerns about the potential expansion of tensions to surrounding areas and the region’s trade and transport routes, in the wake of possible repercussions from a conflict initiated by the United States and the Zionist regime against Iran.
The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) is a military and security alliance comprising Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, focused on fostering defense and security cooperation among its member states.
Earlier, a joint meeting of the foreign ministers, defense ministers, and secretaries of the Security Councils of the CSTO member states was held in Moscow on November 9, 2026.
