Ali Akbar Velayati, an adviser to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, has said the foreign forces must leave the Middle East.
In a series of posts on X — made in Persian, Arabic, English and Turkish — Velayati said, “Recent developments reflect the resilience of the armed forces, the steadfastness of Iranians, and the courage of the Resistance Axis.
“The US and Zionist regime’s defeat reinforced the belief that foreign forces — the main cause of insecurity — must leave the region,” he added.
The official also emphasised that “growing cooperation among regional states can secure its security”.
