'Saudi Arabia unable to make peace with neighbors'

The Leader's top aide, Ali Akbar Velayati, blasted Saudi Arabia for destabilizing the region, and said that the Riyadh government is unable to adopt a peaceful stance towards its neighbors.

"Their row with Qatar shows that they cannot even have a peaceful co-existence with their closest neighbors," Velayati said.

Velayati, a senior advisor on international affairs to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, said that the Saudis' statements against Iran stem from their inexperience and their lack of knowledge about Iran.

Asked about Saudis’ claims on Tehran's terror attacks, Velayati said that they do not dare to take any action against Iran.

He went on to say, the problem with Saudi Arabia is that the people in charge of their foreign ministry sometimes say things that stem from their ignorance of Iran and the region.

In relevant remarks in late May, Velayati voiced his regret over the recent visit of US President Donald Trump to Riyadh, and said that Saudi Arabia is supporting a fake version of Islam.

"The recent developments in Saudi Arabia are true examples of American Islam," Velayati said.
