Iran Condemns Trump's Remarks on Khamenei, Demands Respect

Iran Condemns Trump's Khamenei Comments

Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has strongly criticized Donald Trump's remarks regarding Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, labeling them as "disrespectful and unacceptable."

Demand for Respect in Nuclear Deal Talks

Araghchi emphasized that if President Trump is genuinely interested in reaching a nuclear deal with Iran, he must avoid using such inflammatory language towards the Supreme Leader and his followers.

Tensions with Israel and US Involvement

Araghchi also addressed the recent conflict involving Israel, alluding to Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. He accused Israel of relying on US intervention and cautioned against any underestimation of Iran's military strength. Iran stands ready to demonstrate its capabilities if provoked.

These statements arrive during delicate negotiations and heightened tensions in the region. The 12 day war ended the day after America's Operation Midnight Hammer in Iran, which had retaliated by launching missiles on a US air base in Qatar.
