Ali Akbar Velayati, the Advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution for International Affairs, wrote in a post on one of his accounts on social media that: "Now that everyone is discussing a new order in West Asia, it must be noted that Iran serves as a bridge connecting the Persian Gulf, Central Asia, the Caucasus, and the Sea of Oman. Any energy or transit corridor that seeks to bypass Iran will prove to be either prohibitively expensive or unsustainable."
"The domino effect of crises—ranging from Gaza to the Red Sea, and from Lebanon to Iraq—has demonstrated that regional security is indivisible. Either collective security is achieved by everyone, or everyone will experience collective insecurity."
"The tsunami of geopolitical shifts in West Asia has engulfed the electionl landscapes of both Israel and the United States. The conclusion: Iran now stands as one of the primary architects of the regional order—a reality that can neither be eliminated nor replaced."
