Washington (USA) – US President Donald Trump warned that if we decided to do so, we could eliminate the entire remaining leadership of Iran in a single stroke. He was speaking in an interview with Axios in the backdrop of the funeral of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. However, he said the United States would not do so because it wanted to continue negotiations with Iran. “They are all in the same place. If we eliminate them, who are we going to negotiate with ?” Trump remarked sarcastically.
Trump further said,
“I thought people would hate Khamenei. I doubt whether the tears being shed by the people are genuine or fake.”
The United States has neither culture, nor history, nor honour ! – Iran
Responding to Trump’s statement on social media, the Iranian Embassy in Armenia criticised him, saying, “You have neither culture, nor history, nor honour.”
Iranian military officials also made it clear that if Iran were attacked, it would respond immediately and forcefully. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also warned that “Any attempt to target Iran’s leadership will not be tolerated.”
