Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has accused the United States of promoting terrorism in a scathing response to President Trump’s recent actions. On Thursday, Baqaei condemned Trump for sharing a quote that suggested Iranians who oppose a peace deal should be killed. The quote, originally shared by Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen on the newly launched Truth Social platform, has sparked outrage and condemnation from Iranian officials.
In the post shared by Trump, a video showed Thiessen discussing the ongoing nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and Iran. In the video, Thiessen suggests that those who oppose a peace deal with Iran should be “taken out and shot.” This statement has been met with strong criticism from Iranian officials, who have condemned the post as a clear incitement to violence and a violation of international law.
In his response, Baqaei did not mince his words, stating that the U.S. has a long history of promoting terrorism and destabilizing the Middle East. He also highlighted the irony of Trump, who has often referred to Iran as a sponsor of terrorism, now sharing a post that calls for violence against Iranians. Baqaei also pointed out that such actions go against the principles of free speech and democracy that the U.S. claims to uphold.
This is not the first time that the U.S. has been accused of promoting terrorism in the region. In the past, the U.S. has been directly involved in supporting terrorist groups and carrying out military interventions in the Middle East. The recent actions of President Trump, who has consistently taken a hardline stance against Iran, only add to this narrative.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson also highlighted the double standards of the U.S. when it comes to dealing with Iran. While the U.S. has been quick to impose sanctions and use military force against Iran, it has turned a blind eye to the human rights violations and state-sponsored terrorism of its allies in the region. Baqaei emphasized that the U.S. should hold itself accountable for its actions instead of pointing fingers at others.
The recent incident has once again brought to light the biased and hostile attitude of the U.S. towards Iran. Despite the ongoing nuclear negotiations, the U.S. continues to demonize and threaten Iran, further complicating the already tense relationship between the two countries. Baqaei also pointed out that the U.S. has been the main obstacle in achieving a peaceful resolution to the nuclear issue, as it has repeatedly violated the terms of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson also urged the U.S. to reconsider its actions and engage in constructive dialogue instead of resorting to inflammatory rhetoric. He emphasized that Iran remains committed to finding a peaceful solution to the nuclear issue and is willing to engage in negotiations with the U.S. in good faith.
In conclusion, the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s response to President Trump’s actions is a clear condemnation of the U.S.’s role in promoting terrorism in the region. Baqaei’s statement serves as a reminder that the U.S. should reflect on its own actions before accusing others. It also highlights the need for the U.S. to change its hostile and confrontational approach towards Iran and work towards finding a peaceful resolution to the ongoing issues. As the world watches the developments between the two countries, it is essential for the U.S. to uphold the principles of democracy and respect for human rights, rather than promoting violence and inciting hatred.
