also: "follower of the supreme leader"
I think here "مدار" means "پیرو" and it is better to use "follower" instead of "believer". and I believe by "ولایت" here we mean the supreme leader so we can translate "ولایت مدار" into english as both "follower of walayat" or "follower of the supreme leader"

Wilayi/Wilayati = Wilayat/Wilayah believers/devotees/followers
If you need a short word use "wilayati".
This word (wilayah) is not only used for "Supreme Guardian/Wilayat al-Faqih", but also used for wilayah of Imams (pbut).
