Tehran [Iran], June 28 (ANI): Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said on Saturday that President Donald Trump should put aside the “disrespectful tone” toward Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei if the United States wants to pursue a deal with Iran.
Underscoring that Iran does not respond well to threats and insults, Araghchi warned that the country would not hesitate to reveal its true capabilities. “The complexity and tenacity of Iranians are famously known in our magnificent carpets, woven through countless hours of hard work and patience. But as a people, our basic premise is very simple and straightforward: we know our worth, value our independence, and never allow anyone else to decide our destiny,” the Iranian Foreign Minister wrote on X.
He added, “If President Trump is genuine about wanting a deal, he should put aside the disrespectful and unacceptable tone toward Iran’s Supreme Leader, Grand Ayatollah Khamenei, and stop hurting his millions of heartfelt followers.”
“The Great and Powerful Iranian People, who showed the world that the Israeli regime had NO CHOICE but to RUN to ‘Daddy’ to avoid being flattened by our missiles, do not take kindly to threats and insults. If illusions lead to worse mistakes, Iran will not hesitate to unveil its real capabilities, which will certainly end any delusion about the power of Iran,” the post further stated.
He concluded by saying, “Good will begets good will, and respect begets respect.”
Araghchi’s remarks come as the United States has hinted at possible talks with Iran. On Thursday (local time), White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the Trump administration remains focused on diplomacy and peace, adding that the U.S. continues to maintain close communication with the Iranians.
Addressing a press briefing, Leavitt said, “I spoke to our special envoy Witkoff at length this morning, and I can assure all of you we continue to be in close communication with the Iranians and through our intermediaries as well—namely the Qataris, who have been an incredible ally and partner throughout this entire effort. As I said, this administration is always focused on diplomacy and peace, and we want to ensure we can get to a place where Iran agrees to a non-enrichment civil nuclear program.”
