In a recent interview, Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader, condemned the proposed Zangezur corridor linking Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan, asserting it would allow U.S. influence in the Caucasus. He described any American corridor as a “graveyard of mercenaries” and emphasized Iran’s commitment to regional security, regardless of Russian involvement. Velayati warned that the corridor poses risks to Armenia’s integrity and the South Caucasus’ security, viewing it as a NATO strategy against Iran. He also addressed Hezbollah’s role in Lebanon, opposing U.S. disarmament efforts, and highlighted concerns regarding Iraqi disarmament plans, likening them to threats in Lebanon.
Israel’s pursuit of a “Greater Israel” through destabilization of neighboring countries poses significant concerns in the Middle East. Resistance movements in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq, such as Hezbollah and the Popular Mobilization Forces, have been crucial in countering Israeli aggression and maintaining regional stability. These groups prevent foreign occupation and uphold national integrity. However, Israel’s efforts to disarm these movements threaten to enable its expansionist agenda. It is vital for Muslim nations to unite in support of the resistance to safeguard their sovereignty and counter Israeli influence, ensuring a stable future for the region.
