Iran says Trump should focus on ‘millions of hungry’ people in US
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTEHRAN, Iran – Iran’s foreign ministry responds Tuesday to US President Donald Trump’s latest Twitter attack, saying he should focus on “homeless and hungry people” in his own country rather than insulting Iranians.
“Instead of wasting his time sending useless and insulting tweets regarding other countries, he would be better off seeing to the domestic issues of his own country such as daily killings of dozens of people… and the existence of millions of homeless and hungry people,” says ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi.
In his latest tweet on the ongoing unrest in Iran, Trump praised the protesters for acting against Tehran’s “brutal and corrupt” regime.
“The people have little food, big inflation and no human rights. The US is watching!” Trump wrote.
