Ali Akbar Velayati, adviser on international affairs to Iran's supreme leader, has warned Yerevan that Tehran still sees the creation of Trump's Route for International Peace and Prosperity as a red line not to be crossed.

He also blasted last week’s move by the Armenian parliament to approve the construction of the corridor.

“I told the Armenian ambassador directly: if [US President Donald] Trump and his allies try to cross this red line of Iran's, we will break their legs,” Velayati said.
