Ebrahim Azizi serves as the head of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee within the Iranian Majlis (Parliament). In this capacity, he acts as a primary legislative liaison for the regime's security apparatus, frequently articulating Tehran's official stance on maritime security, regional intervention, and the ongoing direct confrontation with Israel and the United States. During the escalations of mid-2026, Azizi emerged as a leading voice in Iran's psychological warfare, specifically targeting U.S. naval presence and Israeli military operations.

Azizi has been instrumental in advancing legislation to codify Iran's 'comprehensive sovereignty' over the Strait of Hormuz. This proposed law seeks to bar military and commercial vessels from countries deemed 'hostile' by Iran from entering the Persian Gulf without explicit Iranian approval. His rhetoric consistently asserts that the Strait is an inseparable part of Iranian territory and that Tehran alone is authorized to manage it.

Beyond maritime policy, Azizi is a vocal proponent of expanding the scope of conflict. He has warned that Iranian retaliation for strikes on its proxies—particularly Hezbollah in the Dahieh district of Beirut—would not be limited to the Middle East. He frequently challenges Western military reporting, claiming that U.S. casualties in kinetic exchanges are significantly higher than those acknowledged by the Trump administration. While he holds a legislative position, his proximity to the Supreme National Security Council and the IRGC's strategic goals makes him a significant figure in the regime's decision-making and public-facing defense policy. His statements are intended to project strength and deter further Israeli or American strikes against Iranian interests by signaling a readiness for global asymmetric warfare.
