Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Thursday that US President Donald Trump’s reaction to the deadly Islamic State group attacks in Tehran was “repugnant”.
“Repugnant WH (White House) statement... as Iranians counter terror backed by US clients,” Zarif tweeted.
He was responding to Trump’s comment that “states that sponsor terrorism risk falling victim to the evil they promote”.

Trump has long accused Iran of backing terrorism and has threatened to tear up a 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and major powers.
Even as Washington expressed its condolences on Wednesday, the US Senate advanced legislation that would impose new sanctions on Iran, partly for what the bill described as the Iranian regime’s “support for acts of international terrorism”.
