Tehran, IRNA - Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani has said that the decline of colonial powers, including the US, will happen faster than expected.

Shamkhani made the remarks while addressing the closing ceremony of an international conference themed 'New World Order Geometry' in Tehran on Thursday.

“We are now at a critically historical juncture", and a change in the world order is accordingly of paramount importance. The new world order and mechanisms to approach it "would prompt us to review our macro policies", Shamkhani said.   

He added that the new world order can either provide great and brilliant opportunities, or pose threats and dangers, noting that opportunities or threats of the new world order depend on countries’ behavior and preparation for such changes.

Shamkhani reiterated that "we must prepare ourselves and increase our resilience for global transformations".
