Iranian negotiators act in line with instructions of leader: Advisor

Leader's advisor Ali Akbar Velayati said the Supreme leader supports the Iranian negotiators who are trying their best to stand up for Iranian rights.

As the Supreme Leader has said Iranian hands are not tied; rather, the American have their hands tied because they have been unable to impose their will on Iran and stop the Islamic Republic from making progress, Ali Akbar Velayati, an advisor to the Supreme Leader for international affairs, told reporters Tuesday on the sidelines of an international congress attended by foreign guests who are in Tehran to take part in ceremonies to mark the victory of the revolution.

He further said the Supreme leader supports the Iranian negotiators who are trying their best to stand up for Iranian rights, adding as the leader has said Western attempts to stop the progress of Iran’s peaceful nuclear program are bound to fail.

In conclusion, Velayati expressed hope that the Iranian nuclear negotiating team will be successful at the talks and in defending the rightful insistence of the Islamic Republic on tapping peaceful nuclear energy.
