"Iran’s regional presence is inevitable," stressed a senior advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei vowing that the country will stand by the oppressed nations in the region.

"US accusations about the Islamic Republic providing Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah fighters with ballistic missiles are just a political and ridiculous show," A senior Iranian lawmaker said.

"United States only brought itself more isolation in the international community every time it tried to target Iran at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC," an Iranian deputy foreign minister pointed out.

President Hassan Rouhani has rejected Washington’s claim of having “sympathy” for the Iranian people, noting the nation has not forgotten the American acts of aggression in the region.
