US must suffer 'painful responses' from Iran after Trump speech - Guards chief
The head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Wednesday that the United States should experience "painful responses" following President Donald Trump's harsh criticism of Tehran at the United Nations.
In his first speech to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday Trump called Iran "a corrupt dictatorship" and accused it of supporting terrorism and destabilising the Middle East. He also hinted he might not recertify a 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran when it comes up for a mid-Oct. deadline.
"Taking a definitive stand against Trump is only the beginning of the path," said General Mohammad Ali Jafari, according to Sepah News, the news site of the Revolutionary Guards.
"What is strategically important is that America witnesses more painful responses in the actions, behaviour and decisions that Iran takes in the coming months."
