A senior adviser on international affairs to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution has dismissed the United States’ latest threats, stressing that regional corridor dynamics are shaped by Iran’s realities on the ground, not by Washington’s rhetoric.
In a post on X, Ali Akbar Velayati said US President Donald Trump “is trapped in the paradox of daily threats against Iran and angry American gas station customers.” He noted that Trump needs market stability and lower energy prices to contain domestic inflation.
Velayati emphasized that shifting calculations in the Caucasus and the fading of the imposed term “Trump Corridor” (Zangezur) showed that regional corridor dynamics are now shaped not by Washington’s threats, but by Tehran’s realities on the ground.

He warned that Iran’s adversaries, particularly global Zionism and the United States, have long been unsettled by Iran’s historic unity and deep cultural connections across the region. These actors seek to weaken the foundations of Iranian identity as a means to harm the country’s national security, he stated.
Velayati added that projects like the Zangezur Corridor serve as a cover for broader geopolitical agendas aimed at weakening the resistance axis, cutting Iran’s connection to the Caucasus, and imposing a land blockade on both Iran and Russia.
