Velayati: New power geometry not based on weakening resistance

Ali Akbar Velayati, an advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, stated that the long-standing nightmare of Western theorists that Iran is gaining power has become a reality, and a new geometry of power has been formed. In a post on his X account on Saturday, he responded to American media's admission that the US government needs an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He said, "The admission by Western media (Reuters and the Guardian) that Trump needs a temporary agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz indicates the failure of the Iranian threat doctrine and the victory of the authority of the resistance. However, the greater strategic error is made by those who are content with the mirage of compromise in the region." Velayati emphasized that the new architecture of the geometry of power will not be formed based on weakening the heroic resistance. He added that diplomatic optimism has a heavy cost, and lasting peace comes from within the balance of power, not from the mirage of unsupported commitments. According to Mehr News Agency (MNA), Velayati's remarks underscore the resilience of the resistance front against US-Israeli aggression.
