Iran condemns Trump's offensive remarks against Khamenei

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the US president's remarks targeting the country’s Supreme Leader, calling them offensive, undiplomatic, and a violation of international norms.

"Iran's foreign ministry strongly condemns the offensive remarks and undignified behavior of the President of the United States regarding the Supreme Leader and the people of Iran," the ministry said in a statement on Sunday.

It described the comments as an insult not only to Iran but to the broader Muslim world, saying they "deeply wounded the sentiments of hundreds of millions of Muslims in the region and around the world."

The statement warned that such rhetoric only deepens animosity toward the United States. "Undoubtedly, these insulting and bullying remarks and actions against Iran and the respected political and religious figures of Iranians and Muslims will only intensify disgust and hatred toward America’s short-sighted policies and further discredit its claims of seeking dialogue and engagement."
