Iran has warned the United States against any interference in its internal affairs, vowing a \u201cswift, decisive, and comprehensive\u201d response to any act of aggression following threatening remarks by US President Donald Trump.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a statement issued on Friday, the Foreign Ministry strongly condemned earlier interventionist and irresponsible comments by the US president and other American officials, saying such positions amounted to a continuation of Washington\u2019s \u201cbullying and unlawful approach\u201d towards the Iranian nation.<\/p>\n

The ministry said the remarks constituted a flagrant violation of the fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter and the international law, particularly concerning respect for national sovereignty, and warned that they amounted to incitement to \u201cviolence and terrorism\u201d against Iranian citizens.<\/p>\n

Recalling a long record of criminal interference by successive US administrations, it dismissed American claims of concern for the Iranian people as hypocritical and aimed at deceiving public opinion and concealing past and ongoing crimes against Iranians.<\/p>\n

The statement cited US complicity in the 1953 coup against Iran\u2019s then\u2013prime minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, cooperation with former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein\u2019s regime during the eight-year imposed war against the Islamic Republic in the 1980s, the downing of Iran Air Flight 655 by a US warship in 1988 that killed 300 civilians, and decades of sanctions targeting the livelihoods and fundamental rights of Iranian civilians.<\/p>\n

It also referred to the US\u2019s collusion with the Israeli regime in Tel Aviv\u2019s illegal war on the country in June that targeted the nation\u2019s vital infrastructure and safeguarded nuclear facilities and led to the assassination and killing of Iranian scientists, officials, and ordinary civilians, including small children.<\/p>\n

The ministry underscored the responsibilities of the UN Security Council and the UN secretary-general, under the world body\u2019s Charter, to safeguard international peace and security in the face of Washington\u2019s aggressive unilateralism.<\/p>\n

It stressed that Iranians would not permit any \u201cmalicious foreign interference\u201d in their dialogue and interaction aimed at resolving domestic issues.<\/p>\n

It, meanwhile, assessed the recent US threats as being aligned with the Israeli regime\u2019s policy of escalating tensions in the region.<\/p>\n

The statement cautioned that responsibility for the consequences of whatever situation that might arise out of fresh American adventurism against Iran would rest entirely with the United States.<\/p>\n

The remarks came after Trump threatened Iran in a social media post, claiming the US was prepared for military action in response to, what he called, the country\u2019s potential forceful action against sporadic protests over the decline of rial, the Iranian currency.<\/p>\n

Also reacting to the post, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Iranians would not allow any foreign interference in their internal affairs, noting that a review of US actions carried out under the pretext of \u201csaving the people of Iran\u201d revealed the reality behind Washington\u2019s claimed empathy.<\/p>\n

He said the US was now posing a threat to attack Iran under the guise of compassion, in blatant violation of the international law.<\/p>\n

Separately, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf warned that Trump\u2019s remarks amounted to an official admission of hostile intent, saying all American centers and forces in the region would become \u201clegitimate targets\u201d in the event of new American adventurism. He stressed that the Islamic Republic distinguished between genuine protesters and foreign-backed elements and said Iranians had always stood united against external threats.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Secretary of Iran\u2019s Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani also cautioned Washington, saying any US interference in Iran\u2019s internal affairs would destabilize the region and result in destruction of American interests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iran has warned the United States against any interference in its internal affairs, vowing a \u201cswift, decisive, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":669860,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5311],"tags":[49,978,659],"class_list":{"0":"post-669859","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"tag-united-states","9":"tag-us","10":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115827816670740785","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=669859"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669859\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/669860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=669859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=669859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=669859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
