Ali Akbar Velayati, an advisor to the Supreme Leader of Iran, speaking about the "Trump Road" project, said that by implementing it, the security of the South Caucasus would be jeopardized. "Iran has emphasized that it will move towards ensuring the security of the South Caucasus, whether with or without Russia, and of course, we believe that Russia is also strategically opposed to this corridor."
Velayati noted: "Renting a corridor is a naive statement by another country. The fact that Trump wants to rent a corridor in this part of the world is like someone going to this side of the world and renting the Panama Canal. It is impossible and will not happen. Trump, as always, makes loud but meaningless statements. Trump thinks he is a real estate agent and wants to rent land or territory."
"The balances and relations in the region are not limited only to those between Azerbaijan and Armenia, but the geopolitical changes taking place in the region also change Iran's borders, so we have the right to defend our interests with full force," the advisor to the Supreme Leader of Iran said.
