Iran Press/Iran news: Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Ghassemi added: "The US follows a path which has no benefit for the American people," according to an Iran Press report.
He pointedly added: "The Trump regime has withdrawn from a multi-lateral international accord, JCPOA, which took years to negotiate, and now it cannot find a suitable substitute or alternative to this accord, and it has thus become frustrated and angry, suffering from a kind of perpetual anger and hopelessness."
Commenting further on Mike Pompeo's remarks in Cairo, Egypt, Bahram Ghassemi said: "Secretary of State Pompeo has explicitly declared his hostility towards the Iranian nation. This is clearly directed at the Iranian people. But he should also know and understand that the Iranian government will defend and protect the national and strategic interests of Iran with all its might. We always stand up to the enemies of the Iranian nation."
Ghassemi poignantly added: "America's conduct shows that they want to cause rifts and divisions between countries of this region. America's policies are divisive, and they want to cause more chaos in this region. Regional countries ought to be fully vigilant and alert."
Also, Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif in a tweet on Thursday blamed the United States meddling policies for the turmoil in the Middle East, describing them as a source of chaos, repression and resentment.
