El Líder Supremo de Irán, Mojtaba Jamenéi:

Entre los logros más valiosos de la Tercera Defensa Sagrada [contra la invasión estadounidense y sionista] está la emergencia de Irán al nivel de una gran potencia influyente.
Valoración
A new supreme leader in Iran is explicitly framing the country's regional influence as a direct result of resistance against foreign invasion. This language signals an intention to continue or escalate that posture. The reference to a Third Sacred Defense suggests a narrative that past conflicts have elevated Iran's standing, which may have implications for future foreign policy and negotiations.
