‘US Must Talk to Iranians with Language of Respect’

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi has reacted to injudicious remarks by US President Donald Trump against Iran during his recent trip to Paris.

“Apparently, his advisors are still living in the illusory climate of the past. They knew nothing about realities and basic truths at that time, and now, too, they are way behind developments in Iran, the region, and the world,” said Qassemi.

He urged the new US administration to pay attention to Iran’s positive, constructive and stabilizing role in the region and the world, and pay due regard to the fact that defiance and rebellion have their roots in the selfish and chaos-provoking policies and measures adopted by Washington and some of its unruly, aggressive and occupying allies in the region.

He also called on Washington to take lessons from the past and talk to the Iranian nation with the language of respect.
