Foreign Ministry strongly condemns Trump's offensive remarks about Leader

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Jun 30, 2025

Tehran, IRNA -- The Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned United States President Donald Trump for his "offensive and inappropriate remarks and conduct" regarding Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and the Iranian nation.

In a statement issued on Monday, the ministry said that Trump's "insolent" remarks constitute a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter.

On Thursday, Ayatollah Khamenei said that Iran had delivered "a slap to America's face" by striking a U.S. airbase in Qatar in response to Washington's attacks on three Iranian nuclear sites last weekend. The Leader also warned the U.S. against future attacks on Iran. Trump reacted by making offensive remarks and threatening Iran with more attacks.

The following is the full text of the statement by the Iranian Foreign Ministry:

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran strongly condemns the offensive and inappropriate remarks and conduct of the President of the United States regarding the Supreme Leader and the people of Iran.

Such insolent statements and undiplomatic behavior not only constitute a flagrant violation of universally shared moral principles and the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations—particularly the principle of respect for the right of nations to self-determination—but also represent a blatant affront to a dignified nation with an ancient civilization, and deeply wound the sentiments of hundreds of millions of Muslims across the region and the world.

Undoubtedly, insulting and bullying rhetoric directed at Iran and at political and religious figures revered by the Iranian people and Muslims worldwide serves only to deepen the global revulsion and indignation toward the United States' short-sighted policies, while further discrediting its purported desire for dialogue and engagement.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran advises American officials to refrain from resorting to insulting rhetoric and inconsistent posturing, and instead be held accountable for their government's blatant violations of international law—particularly its unlawful attack on Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities and its continued support for the Zionist regime's atrocities against the Iranian people and the broader region.
