UAE official cites Iran missile attack as trust barrier

Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader on international affairs, has declared that a 'united Iran' stands against the 'Hebrew-Arab-American front.' He framed the conflict as a civilizational struggle, stating 'The whole world is the body, and Iran is the heart.' Velayati also pointed to tensions between the US and its traditional allies, such as the UK over the Falklands and European warnings about independence from America, as evidence of a deep rift in the opposing coalition.
