Iran's Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said that the life of the current hegemonic countries will end by 2035, Fars News Agency reported.
He went on to say that the Asian countries would rule the world after the hegemonic powers collapse.
"The countries that have naval and marine control, will take on major role in administration at the world arena," he noted.
Vahidi noted that despite that the Western nations want to keep their domination over the international community, in the future Iran would play a strong role in the world, regarding its strategic position among the nations.
