Iran Rejects Trump’s Condolences After Terror Attack, Calls Statement ‘Repugnant’
Iran’s foreign minister on Thursday, Mohammad Javad Arif has rejected Donald Trump’s condolences for deadly attacks in Tehran on Wednesday, calling his words repugnant.
Trump had said he prayed for the victims of Wednesday’s attacks that were claimed by Islamic State, but added that “states that sponsor terrorism risk falling victim to the evil they promote.”
Javad Zarif wrote on his Twitter account:
“Repugnant White House statement …. Iranian people reject such U.S. claims of friendship.”
Suicide bombers and gunmen attacked the Iranian parliament and Ayatollah Khomeini’s mausoleum in Tehran, killing at least 13 people.
