Judiciary Chief:
Iran’s Judiciary Chief Ebrahim Rayeesi said both Iran and Iraq are following up on the assassination of former commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Qods Force Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani at international level.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyed Abbas Mousavi strongly condemned the latest crime by the Saudi-led coalition which claimed the lives of dozens of civilians in al-Maslub, in Yemen’s Jawf Province.
Zarif:
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that American President Donald Trump has stonewalled all efforts made by France and Japan to return the US to talks, adding that the White House is suffering from the illusion that Tehran is collapsing under pressures.
Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Ali Fadavi said Iran has detailed information on the results of its recent missile attack on Ein Al-Assad airbase, but wants the US administration to admit the scope of the damages and number of casualties first.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyed Abbas Mousavi reminded those foreign companies which abide by the US’ unilateral sanctions that returning to his country will be very difficult for them, rapping two South Korean businesses for surrendering to Washington’s bullying.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are not willing to defuse tensions with Iran maybe because the United States has warned them against holding any dialog with the Islamic Republic.
Iran's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the UN Majid Takht Ravanchi dismissed the unfounded claims against his country’s involvement in any weapons shipping in the region, and lashed out at the US’ disinformation campaign to implicate Tehran in arming Yemen in the war against the Saudi-led aggression.
SNSC:
Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani said that his country has successfully foiled the US’ plan to force Tehran decide between war and surrendering, adding that the White House never imagined that they would end up empty-handed at the finish line.
