Mohsen Rezaei, the military advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, stated that Iran is becoming the fourth world power after the United States, China, and Russia. In a Telegram post, Rezaei called on the Iranian people to be patient during what he described as a 'transition period.' The statement echoes similar claims made by other Iranian officials in recent months.
Senior Iranian military advisor Mohsen Rezaei, who serves as the military advisor to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, published a post on Telegram Thursday morning claiming that Iran is becoming the fourth world power after the United States, China, and Russia. Rezaei, a former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), called on the Iranian people to be patient and endure the current situation, describing it as a 'transition period.'
The statement is the latest in a series of claims by Iranian officials about the country's rising status. As The Zioneer reported on June 25, Gholamreza Masbaji-Moghadam, a member of the Expediency Discernment Council, made a similar assertion that the recent war elevated Iran to the fourth world power. Rezaei's post was relayed by Israeli media.
The claim comes amid a period of heightened tensions between Iran and the US, with ongoing negotiations over Iran's nuclear program and regional activities. Rezaei has previously issued threats against the US and Israel, including a 48-hour ultimatum in July. No official confirmation of the statement from Iranian state media has been reported.
