Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif responds to US President Donald Trump after the American leader on Sunday night threatened to bring about the “official end of Iran.”
“Economic terrorism & genocidal taunts won’t ‘end Iran,'” tweets Zarif, referring to US sanctions.
“Try respect—it works!” he adds, alongside the hashtag “Never threaten an Iranian.”
Goaded by #B_Team, @realdonaldTrump hopes to achieve what Alexander, Genghis & other aggressors failed to do. Iranians have stood tall for millennia while aggressors all gone. #EconomicTerrorism & genocidal taunts won't "end Iran". #NeverThreatenAnIranian. Try respect—it works!
