The Iranian Government has slams the U.S President Donald Trump for his “offensive and inappropriate remarks and conduct” regarding the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and the country.
This was contained in a press release issued by the Iranian Foreign Minister on Monday, accusing Trump of breaching the core principles of the United Nations Charter in its recent dealings with the Middle Eastern country.
Ayatollah Khamenei who last week Thursday said that Iran had delivered “a slap to America’s face” by striking a U.S. airbase in Qatar in response to Washington’s attacks on three Iranian nuclear sites last weekend.
He mentioned this in his first public appearance since the U.S. attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities.
He made the remark on his official X handle, stating, “Needless to say, this statement is too grand to come from the mouth of the U.S. President.”
He further explained that the fact that the Islamic Republic had access to key U.S. centres in the region and could take action whenever it deemed necessary was a significant matter.
In response to Trump’s statement, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran strongly condemns the offensive and inappropriate remarks and conduct of the President of the United States regarding the Supreme Leader and the people of Iran”.
“Such insolent remarks and undiplomatic behavior not only constitute a flagrant violation of universally shared moral principles and the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations—particularly the principle of respect for the right of nations to self-determination—but also represent a blatant affront to a dignified nation with an ancient civilization, and deeply wound the sentiments of hundreds of millions of Muslims across the region and the world.
“Undoubtedly, insulting and bullying rhetoric directed at Iran and at political and religious figures revered by the Iranian people and Muslims worldwide serves only to deepen the global revulsion and indignation toward the United States’ short-sighted policies, while further discrediting its purported desire for dialogue and engagement”.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran advises American officials to refrain from resorting to insulting rhetoric and inconsistent posturing, and instead be held accountable for their government’s blatant violations of international law—particularly its unlawful attack on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities and its continued support for the Zionist regime’s atrocities against the Iranian people and the broader region.”
