On Iran’s possible reaction to raising of the PMD by the western parties to the JCPOA, Velayati said that if they brought forth new claims, it would be unacceptable, and they should act according to obligations made in the JCPOA.
Velayati then turned to resistance axis where Iran, Syria, and Lebanon united and with the help of Russia, hit some success on the frontlines; “we expect to see even higher success which would strengthen the current authority of the Syrian ruling government on the country and also on its territorial integrity; in my talks with Mr. Hassan Khalil, we discussed bilateral relations in economics and politics; Iran is closely allied to Lebanon in supporting Assad and Syrian people,” he added. “Since the wake of terrorist actions against democratically elected government of Syria, this alliance has displayed excellent coordination during past 4 years; Iran and Lebanon has been head to head in scoring victories in northern and northwestern parts of the country; Iran and Lebanon enjoy strategic relations, having similar positions inn regional issues as well.”
