Legitimacy does not come from Washington: Iran Leader’s advisor

In a post on X on Friday, Velayati said, From Sanaa to Najaf, the resistance front is united.

Addressing Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaydi, the advisor said, Mr. al-Zaidi, legitimacy does not come from Washington; it comes from the soil of Najaf and the blood of the martyrs. The Coordination Framework, built on the trust of the resistance and the blood of the martyrs, is today, through its silence, an empty frame on the wall of power. But let them know that fronts bound together by blood cannot be torn apart by conspiracy.

Velayati added: To make up for its defeat on the battlefield, the enemy is seeking to fracture the “unity of fronts” from within; today, this division became evident in Najaf, where an airport that served as a gateway for pilgrims visiting Imam Ali’s shrine was closed.
