Iran says Trump comments 'ignorant'

None

Iran's foreign minister said Wednesday US President Donald Trump has confirmed his "ignorance" in remarks on Iran in his State of the Union address.

 

Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif reacted just hours after Trump warned of the dangers of "rogue regimes" like Iran and North Korea, in his address to lawmakers in Washington.

 

Zarif tweeted: "Trump again confirms his ignorance of Iran & region. Everyone knows where he stands; and it's certainly not with Iranians."

 

In his address, Trump called the Islamic Republic a "corrupt dictatorship" and said, "America stands with the people of Iran in their courageous struggle for freedom."
