America: "Repeatedly calling Iran a 'terrorist nation” reveals hostility towards an entire people & exposes the real reason for targeting them with your illegal sanctions" Mohammad-Javad Zarif wrote on his Twitter page on Wednesday, rejecting claims of the president and other US officials that the anti-Iran measures were targeting Iranian government, not the people.

Iranian Foreign Minister in a message slammed the anti-Iran statement of the US president on the death of Jamal Khashoggi as ‘shameful’.
“Mr. Trump bizarrely devotes the FIRST paragraph of his shameful statement on Saudi atrocities to accuse IRAN of every sort of malfeasance he can think of,” Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted a few hours after the US President Donald Trump said in a statement that the Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman may have been aware of the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi while stressing that Saudi Arabia would remain a ‘steadfast partner’ of the United States in the fight against Iran.
Zarif also ridiculed Trump’s anti-Iran statement as “perhaps we’re also responsible for the California fires, because we didn’t help rake the forests — just like the Finns do?”
The Saudi government denied Khashoggi's killing for more than two weeks, but eventually admitted on 20 October that Khashoggi had been murdered in the consulate during an interrogation by 'rogue operatives that had gone wrong' after diplomatic pressure grew on the Kingdom to give an account of the mysterious fate of its national. 203/103
