Ali Akbar Velayati, senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, condemned Britain, France and Germany for triggering UN snapback sanctions, calling it proofof Western “inability” against Iran’s advances and saying the step would further isolate Europe, according to an interview with al-Mayadeen.
Velayati also compared US President Donald Trump’s conduct to Adolf Hitler’s early aggression, and fiercely criticized Israel, denouncing what he called crimes in Gaza and an “assault on Qatar.”
He said Iran favors peaceful diplomacy but will respond “with strength and national dignity” and argued the snapback mechanism has “no practical effect” on Tehran.
