Following Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf’s rebuttal of Marco Rubio’s belligerent rhetoric during his visit to Athens, Ali Akbar Velayati also called out the US Secretary of State for applying a double standard on resistance and distorting history.
The adviser to Iran's supreme leader highlighted a glaring contradiction: standing firm “to the last man” is praised in the context of ancient Greece, yet the steadfastness of the Iranian nation is dismissed as a “death cult.”
💬 “Mr Rubio, your problem is not with the Islamic Revolution; it is with a strong and independent Iranian civilization,” Velayati said.
He added that those who perpetrated the catastrophes of Hiroshima, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan have no right to lecture others on morality.
