Iran’s FM Urges Trump to Stop Disrespect for Ayatollah Khamenei
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said the US president must put aside his disrespectful and unacceptable tone towards Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei if he is genuine about seeking a deal with Iran.
“The complexity and tenacity of Iranians is famously known in our magnificent carpets, woven through countless hours of hard work and patience. But as a people, our basic premise is very simple and straightforward: we know our worth, value our independence, and never allow anyone else to decide our destiny,” Araqchi said in a post on his X account on Saturday.
“If President Trump is genuine about wanting a deal, he should put aside the disrespectful and unacceptable tone towards Iran's Supreme Leader, Grand Ayatollah Khamenei, and stop hurting his millions of heartfelt followers,” he said.
“The Great and Powerful Iranian People, who showed the world that the Israeli regime had NO CHOICE but to RUN to ‘Daddy’ to avoid being flattened by our Missiles, do not take kindly to Threats and Insults. If Illusions lead to worse mistakes, Iran will not hesitate to unveil its Real Capabilities, which will certainly END any Delusion about the Power of Iran,” Araqchi added.
“Good will begets good will, and respect begets respect,” the foreign minister said.
