Iran Press/Iran news: "US hostility has led it to support dictators, butchers & extremists, who’ve only brought ruin to our region," Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote in his Twitter post.
Iran's foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, reacted to Donald Trump's remarks in his State of the Union speech on Tuesday. Addressing both houses of the Congress, Trump called Iran "the world’s leading state sponsor of terror" and a "corrupt dictatorship" which wants to "acquire nuclear weapons."
According to an Iran Press report, Zarif in his tweet refers to US supporting dictators and extremists in the region and across the world and also backing terrorist groups such as ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
Trump also made a veiled threat against Iran. In the State of the Union address, he said: "We will not avert our eyes from Iran that chants Death to America and threatens genocide against the Jewish People."
Mohammad Javad Zarif reacted to the propaganda by US president, and wrote in his Twitter account: "Iranians—including our Jewish compatriots—are commemorating 40 yrs of progress despite US pressure, just as @realDonaldTrump again makes accusations against us." 101/ 211 /205
