Iran's Rights in the Caspian Sea Are Not Negotiable.
The Islamic Republic, amid profound structural weakness and a deep crisis of legitimacy, is seeking to advance and implement the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea (the Aktau Convention). This effort, undertaken without the mandate of the Iranian people and without a clear and comprehensive guarantee of Iran's historic rights, is deeply concerning and constitutes a serious threat to Iran's national interests.
Under the 1921 and 1940 treaties between Iran and the Soviet Union, the legal regime governing the Caspian Sea was founded on the parties' shared rights and the principles of mutual agreement and common interests.
Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the newly independent states reaffirmed, in the Alma-Ata Declaration (December 1991), their commitment to the treaties of the former Soviet Union and to fulfilling the international obligations arising from those agreements through the successor states.
Accordingly, any fundamental change to the legal status of this strategically vital body of water must be made with the agreement of all littoral states and with full respect for Iran's rights.
However, the Aktau Convention provides for the conclusion of bilateral and multilateral agreements among the littoral states concerning portions of the seabed and subsoil of the Caspian Sea, areas that were previously part of the shared waters of Iran and the Soviet Union.
This sets a dangerous precedent. By circumventing the principle of consensus among all littoral states, it effectively weakens Iran's historic position and diminishes the country's role in determining the future legal status of the Caspian Sea.
Since the signing of the Aktau Convention in 2018, I have repeatedly warned that "national interests cannot be safeguarded from a position of weakness." At the time, I also stressed that the criminal clique ruling the Islamic Republic sacrifices the interests of the Iranian nation and homeland for its own survival, and that its foreign policy repeatedly resorts to concessions and appeasement from a position of weakness.
My position on the current process remains unchanged. I consider the Islamic Republic's attempt to ratify this convention to be contrary to Iran's national interests.
No decision concerning Iran's resources, borders, or sovereign rights in this strategic body of water can possess legitimacy without the genuine participation and consent of the Iranian people. Iran's rights in the Caspian Sea are not negotiable, nor can they be relinquished. Any action that undermines these rights will be recorded in the historical memory of the Iranian nation, and those responsible will ultimately be held accountable by the people of Iran.

My fellow Iranians, the great and courageous people of Iran,
Today, as tensions rise and the possibility of escalating military attacks grows, particularly in the south of the country, I wish to speak with you; especially with the noble people of Sistan and Baluchestan, Hormozgan, Bushehr, Khuzestan, and all those living along the shores of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Makran.
The war and crisis our country faces today has one single cause: the Islamic Republic.
But the main war, the Islamic Republic's war against the Iranian people, began forty-seven years ago and has continued to this day.
All of the Iranian people have been wounded by this regime. Let us not allow anyone to say that southern Iran has only now entered the war. Southern Iran entered the war from the very day that Baluch children fell victim to crocodiles seeking water due to a lack of basic infrastructure; from the day that in Sistan and Baluchestan, the land of Rostam and the heart of Iran's mythology, young people were forced into fuel smuggling just to survive; from the day that Hormozgan province and Bandar Abbas, Iran's largest port, were abandoned to poverty and deprivation; from the day that Bushehr, which supplies a large share of the country's gas, and Khuzestan, the heart of Iran's oil industry, were deprived of the wealth they produced.
But a free Iran will be a different Iran.
With the establishment of a national, capable and development-oriented government, Sistan and Baluchestan, drawing on its strategic location, its young workforce, and its access to open waters, can become one of the main engines of the country's growth and prosperity. Chabahar can be the heart of Iran's trade and the gateway connecting the Indian Ocean, Central Asia, and global markets, by reviving the very same comprehensive plan that was to be implemented before the catastrophe of 1979.
Hormozgan, Bushehr, Khuzestan, and the islands of the Persian Gulf can, through the development of trade, tourism, industry, and the attraction of investment, become the wealthiest and most advanced regions of Iran.
My fellow Iranians,
This warmongering regime has built no shelters for the people, nor does it have the capacity to defend the country's skies. Its leaders, hiding underground, are making military use of schools, hospitals, and other civilian centers, and have turned the Iranian people, including conscript soldiers in their garrisons, into human shields.
In the war that the Islamic Republic has imposed on the country, your first and most important duty is to preserve the lives, safety, and wellbeing of yourselves and your families. For you are Iran's most precious asset and the true soldiers of the battle to reclaim the homeland.
In this regard, my communications and media office will be publishing necessary guidance and recommendations to help keep fellow Iranians safe.
Fighting toward and preparing for ultimate victory is a constant duty. In the final battle, the stronger we are and the weaker the Islamic Republic becomes, the faster and less costly our victory will be.
Long live Iran.
