I seek the official diplomatic stance on this matter.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cautiously reading from his notes and following the customary slander against the MEK, Naser Kanaani, the regime\u2019s MFA, said, \u201cShould these countries heed the hypocrites\u2019 counsel, it obviously prompts serious doubts about their political acumen and foresight.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kanaani then deftly shifted focus to Tehran&#8217;s evasion of sanctions and the conspicuous inertia among Western powers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThose nations which have persistently enforced unilateral and unlawful sanctions against the Islamic Republic,\u201d he remarked, \u201cshould critically evaluate the consequences of their actions. They must acknowledge the result of these unjust sanctions and, consequently, it&#8217;s obvious that the hypocrites find themselves compelled, each passing day, to seek out nations still inclined to echo their misguided hostilities against Iran.
