Despite the U.S presence in a number of countries in the region, they have not been able to join a number of influential regional and international treaties, but during the presidency of Raisi, the Islamic Republic of Iran succeeded in joining some important organizations including Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, BRICS and Eurasia with close connections to the heads of the member countries, Mokhber said.
