US malevolent towards Iran: Velayati

TEHRAN, May 26 (MNA) – The former foreign minister of Iran said that the history of US foreign policy proves the country's malevolence towards Iran.

“I am skeptical about the intention of Americans toward Iran,” said Head of Center for Strategic Research of Expediency Council Ali Akbar Velayati on Thursday in Iranian Northeastern city of Mashhad. He made the remark on the sidelines of a national conference on the civilization of Iran and Islam.

“Iran is insistent in its adherernce to its principle rights and will never be affected by the inculcations of the US or its regional allies in the Middle East,” reaffirmed Velayati. The veteran diplomat, who chaired Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs between 1981 and 1997, highlighted that the Islamic Republic of Iran invests no hope on any benevolent  behavior from the US, and "Iran will do what is good for the interests of its own and its people."
