Ali Akbar Velayati

Senior advisor to the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ali Akbar Velayati:

After years of diplomatic experience, I say: "Freedom without political independence is a golden cage."

Hezbollah is the tent pole and the true guardian of Lebanon's existence and independence.

Senior adviser to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ali Akbar Velayati:

"The stability of Persian Gulf Arab states is indebted to Iran's century-long management of the Strait of Hormuz. The West has brought nothing to the region but plunder and violence."

Ali-Akbar Velayati, advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Republic:

"A miscalculation in Beirut exhausted patience, and the order was issued. Zero hour has arrived, and the launchers are being prepared."

Advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Akbar Valiati: "The real guarantee for the survival of the agreement is the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's red line is clear this time: documents and signatures are not a guarantee of speech. Geography does not lie, and it is the final arbiter of any agreement on paper."

Ali Akbar Velayati, senior advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader to Trump:

“First of all, learn the alphabet of the new geopolitical order in the Middle East.”

“We defeated you on the battlefield; do not imagine you will come out victorious in the diplomatic arena.”

Advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Akbar Velayati:

Trump, "Do not assume you can exploit the current calm in Iran and march victoriously to Beijing." First of all, learn the alphabet of the new geopolitical order in the Middle East. We defeated you on the battlefield; do not imagine you will come out victorious in the diplomatic arena."

Ali Akbar Velayati, Advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader:

"A message to the sailors on board the USS Tripoli - you are extras in Trump's movie. Your president failed to protect US forces in the previous war. You have been tasked with saving the region's money coffers - but in the end, you will find yourselves in a slaughterhouse. The USS Tripoli will become a nightmare and collapse your security."

Ali Akbar Velayati, advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader:

"Trump's nonsense and provocative behavior cannot obscure the existing geopolitical reality. The withdrawal of American forces from Germany, the weakening of NATO, and the recurring technical malfunctions in U.S. Navy vessels are signs of the disintegration of the White House's illusion."

Advisor to Iran’s supreme leader Ali Akbar Velayati:

“Key to Strait of Hormuz in Iran’s
