A high-ranking advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, Velayati, criticized the U.S. government's threatening remarks towards the Iranian people, stating that Americas future will ultimately be determined by its domestic economic situation rather than decisions made in military planning rooms. He cited recent statements from U.S. officials: the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury discussing economic sanctions against Iran and the U.S. President reiterating that "all options are on the table." However, Velayati indicated that the American people are bearing the costs of the current government's hostile policies.
