TEHRAN- Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution on international affairs, says Iran’s robust diplomatic approach is focused on safeguarding national sovereignty and promoting regional peace and stability.

In a message posted on his X account on Saturday, Velayati referred to Iran’s recent diplomatic efforts, including its agreement to a Pakistan-mediated ceasefire in the U.S.-Israeli conflict and ongoing negotiations with Washington in Islamabad.

“Today’s strong diplomacy reflects Iran’s national power and its commitment to preserving regional stability,” he wrote, adding that the presence of a delegation led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf in the Islamabad talks demonstrates a continued determination to uphold the rights of the Iranian people.

Velayati also responded to remarks by Lebanon’s prime minister regarding Israeli actions in the country, saying that Nawaf Salam should recognize the unique role played by Hezbollah’s resistance. Ignoring this, he warned, could expose Lebanon to serious and irreversible security risks.

He emphasized that Lebanon’s stability depends on cooperation between its government and resistance forces in confronting the occupying Israeli regime.

Three days after a temporary ceasefire in the U.S.-Israeli war, an Iranian delegation headed by Ghalibaf arrived in Islamabad to begin talks with the U.S. side. The delegation traveled on a flight named “Minab 168,” a reference to the killing of schoolchildren in what was described as an American-Zionist bombing on the first day of the conflict.
