Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has dismissed insulting\nremarks by United States President Donald Trump, who called Iran\u2019s\nleaders \u201ctrash\u201d and \u201cinsane\u201d.<\/p>\n
Araghchi stressed that Iran does not respond to \u201charsh words with\nharsh words\u201d, but rather with action.<\/p>\n
\u201cReferring to the civilised and courageous Iranian nation in\nderogatory language will not diminish their greatness,\u201d Araghchi said in\na statement on social media platform X, as reported by Press TV on\nThursday (9\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Iranian nation is known for its politeness, culture and strong\nmoral values. We do not answer crude words with crude words, but with\naction: fearlessly and with full courage,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n
Araghchi\u2019s statement came after Trump, speaking on the sidelines of\nthe NATO summit in Turkey, described Iran\u2019s leaders as \u201ctrash\u201d and\n\u201cinsane\u201d. He also announced that the ceasefire agreement had ended,\nafter the two countries resumed attacking one another.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s over,\u201d Trump said, when asked by journalists about the\nUS-Iran ceasefire.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to deal with them again. They\u2019re trash, they\u2019re sick\npeople, they\u2019re led by mentally sick people, and they\u2019re vicious and\nbrutal people. And if they had nuclear weapons, they would use them,\u201d he\nsaid, referring to Iran\u2019s current leadership.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs far as I\u2019m concerned, dealing with them is a waste of time,\u201d\nTrump told journalists.<\/p>\n
Trump further accused Iran of repeatedly misrepresenting what had\nbeen agreed upon in the ceasefire agreement.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone agreed, no nuclear weapons. We made a deal. They went out,\nspoke to the press, and then said we never even discussed it. There\u2019s\nsomething wrong with them, they\u2019re insane. As far as I\u2019m concerned, it\u2019s\nover,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n
The string of insults came amid rising tensions in the Strait of\nHormuz, where the US struck dozens of Iranian targets from Tuesday (7\/7)\nlocal time, in response to attacks on three commercial vessels passing\nthrough the strategic waterway, which are believed to have been\norchestrated by Tehran.<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) retaliated by\nstriking dozens of US military targets in Gulf countries.<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who is also\nTehran\u2019s chief negotiator, accused the US of violating the ceasefire. He\ncited the latest series of American attacks, the reimposition of\nsanctions on Iranian oil, breaches of the \u201cadjustments\u201d Tehran had\nimplemented in the Strait of Hormuz, as well as Israel\u2019s ongoing attacks\non Lebanon.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe era of bullying and extortion has ended. We will not submit,\u201d\nGhalibaf asserted.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/iran-responds-to-trumps-trash-insult-we-will-retaliate-with-action-1783587201", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
