Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding Trump's insulting remarks regarding Iran

According to Ashura News, citing Mehr News Agency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement regarding the divisive and insulting remarks of the US President regarding Iran, writing:

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran condemns the remarks of the US President on Tuesday, 13 May 1404, regarding Iran as false, divisive and misleading claims.

While the Zionist regime, on behalf of the US, is engaged in the most heinous colonial genocide in occupied Palestine, it has also militarily occupied territories of two other Arab and Islamic countries and has repeatedly violated the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon, Syria and Yemen, committing terrorist acts and war crimes against these countries; the US President shamelessly presents Iran as responsible for the destruction of these countries.

Such a distortion of the truth - which is based on a clear reversal of the existing realities in the region - is aimed at overshadowing the genocide in Gaza and other crimes of the Zionist regime in Lebanon, Syria and Yemen, and is another sign of the deceitful and insulting approach of US policymakers towards the nations of the region and their insistence on preventing this regime from being held accountable for the crimes committed against the nations of the region.

The deceitful and insulting words of the US President can in no way create a disruption in the national solidarity of Iranians inside and outside the country. Such words will never change the fact that US governments have spared no evil over the past seven decades to prevent Iran's progress and development, and in addition to their comprehensive support for the former regime and also the criminal regime of Saddam during the imposed war, they have caused gross violations of the human rights of every single Iranian by imposing the most severe sanctions and economic-financial pressures.

The people of the region and the world will never forget the fact that, at the same time as the US President is present in the region and making divisive and deceptive statements, Palestinian women and children in Gaza and the West Bank are being subjected to weapons donated by the US, and the genocide plan against the Palestinian people continues with unprecedented intensity in this region with the direct political, financial, and weapons support of the US.

Without a doubt, the US President's divisive statements were made with the intention of sowing discord between Iran and its Arab neighbors and covering up the direct role of the US in the crimes of the Zionist regime; however, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the countries of the region, aware of the evil intentions and history of the US and the Zionist regime, will continue on the path of strengthening and consolidating friendly relations among the nations of the region without being influenced by the divisive approaches of third parties.
