DID Press: Iran’s Foreign Ministry strongly condemned recent remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump in Israel’s Knesset, describing his accusations against Tehran as “groundless, irresponsible, and shameful.” The ministry said Washington has “no moral authority” to judge Iran.
In an official statement, the ministry denounced Trump’s comments as an attempt to deflect attention from “US domestic crises and regional failures.”
“The U.S. president, speaking before the war criminals of the Zionist regime, made hostile and baseless accusations against the Iranian nation—claims devoid of any moral, legal, or political legitimacy,” reads the statement.
The United States, as “the biggest supporter of state terrorism and the main backer of the occupying regime,” lacks the credibility to lecture other nations, added the statement.
Referring to U.S. assassination of General Qassem Soleimani, the ministry said: “US government’s brutal assassination of General Soleimani remains an indelible stain on its foreign policy, one that the Iranian people will neither forgive nor forget.”
The statement also rejected “false and repetitive allegations” about Iran’s peaceful nuclear program, stressing that such claims cannot justify “the repeated acts of aggression and assassinations” carried out by the U.S. and Israel against Iran and its scientists.
Citing Washington’s “direct complicity in Israel’s war crimes against the Palestinian people,” the ministry said the U.S. must be held accountable before international institutions for its support of Israeli impunity.
Reaffirming Iran’s commitment to dialogue, logic, and peace, the statement concluded: “The Iranian nation, guided by dignity, independence, and a spirit of resistance, will stand firm against all external pressure and deceit.”
