Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, arrived in Moscow Wednesday to deliver two messages to President Vladimir Putin.
Velayati shrugged off the concurrent trip to Russia by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu whose government is involved in a spate of illegal moves against the defenseless Palestinians including the killing of innocent civilians and the construction of Jewish settlements on stolen Palestinian lands.
Speaking to reporters on arrival in Moscow Velayati pointed to Netanyahu’s planned visit to Russia and said, “He makes baseless and illogical remarks and nobody cares about his words.”
“Therefore, his presence or absence in Russia has no effect on our strategic mission.”
