Speaking to the Tehran Times and Mehr news agency, Velayati referred to the recent foreign-instigated riots in Iran, saying U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are politically bankrupt.
The veteran politician also said NATO and the EU are standing against the U.S. unilateralism, adding that the U.S. president's policies have stirred opposition in different parts of the world.
Velayati also said that the Resistance Front and Iran are stronger than ever now after the recent events. He explained that Yemeni Ansarullah is standing firm while its opponents backed by Saudi Arabia and UAE are at war with each other.
Velayati, who served as foreign minister for 16 years in the 1980s and 1990s, added, "The Islamic Republic of Iran, given what happened to Venezuela, does not see talks with the U.S. as guaranteeing its security."
He noted that the Iranian nation is more united than ever against aggressors after the 12-day war, a reference to the joint Israeli and U.S. attacks against Iran in June 2025.
The senior advisor to the Leader also said Iran's allies, namely China and Russia, are now more aware of Iran's power after the June war as the regional states do.
‘Economically-driven protests were derailed by enemies’
Velayati also pointed to the two-week protests in Iran which were peaceful at the beginning but were derailed under the influence foreign-based Persian language media outlets, such as Iran International and Mano-To.
“In the recent days we witnessed economically-prompted protests resulting from sanctions. The protests were rooted in economic demands, but they were derailed and turned violent under the influence of media and interference by the enemies,” the politician pointed out.
