Iran’s Supreme Leader’s advisor on international affairs, Ali Akbar Velayati, stated that the Caucasus region has held great importance for Iran since ancient times.
Axar.az reports that Velayati shared this on his X account.
Velayati referred to the view, mentioned in the Qur’an and emphasized by the Islamic scholar Allameh Tabatabai, that Zulqarnain is believed to be Cyrus the Great (Kurosh), citing Herodotus:
“Since the time of Cyrus, the Caucasus has served as a security belt for Iran. They built a barrier in this region to prevent attacks by barbarian tribes,” he wrote.
