Iran's Supreme Leader Advisor: If Conditions Are Not Met or Conflict Escalates

Odaily News: On the 13th, Mokhber, an advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, posted on social media that if the conditions proposed by Iran are not met, the Supreme Leader has made a clear strategic decision to respond by escalating the conflict. Mokhber stated that the current situation has proven that the United States lacks the ability to protect its Persian Gulf allies. He also noted that the most enduring path to establishing a new regional order lies in promoting the implementation of the "Hormuz Economic Security Mechanism" to break free from reliance on U.S. military guarantees.
