Iranian President Calls Trump’s UN Speech ‘Ignorant & Absurd’

Fact checked

In his speech at the UN General Assembly, President Hassan Rouhani said Iran will respond “decisively” to any violation of the 2015 nuclear deal…. by “any party”.

Hitting back at Donald Trumps remarks he said:”I declare before you that the Islamic Republic of Iran will not be the first country to violate the agreement,” adding that Tehran “will respond decisively and resolutely to its violation by any party.”

He went on to say that “it will be a great pity if this agreement were to be destroyed by ‘rogue’ newcomers to the world of politics,  the world will have lost a great opportunity”

In his address to the UNGA, Donald Trump called called Iran a “murderous regime” and said that the 2015 nuclear deal negotiated by his predecessor with the country was an “embarrassment”.

RT reports:

Rouhani then warned that “by violating its international commitments, the new US administration only destroys its own credibility,” and once again said that Tehran does not plan to withdraw from the deal and return to nuclear weapons development.

However, in August, Iran’s president warned that Tehran is ready to withdraw from the deal within “not a week or a month but within hours” and return to its nuclear program should Washington impose new restrictions against it.

The Iranian leader then criticized the US president’s Tuesday speech to the General Assembly, calling it “ignorant, absurd and hateful rhetoric filled with ridiculously baseless allegations.”

In his speech, Trump called Iran a “depleted rogue state whose chief exports are violence, bloodshed, and chaos,” saying that it funds “terrorists that kill innocent Muslims and attack their peaceful Arab and Israeli neighbors.”

Last week, Trump hinted that the US might not re-certify Iran’s compliance with the nuclear agreement in October, adding that Tehran “violated the spirit” of the deal.

On Wednesday, the US envoy to the UN, Nikki Haley, downplayed Trump’s statements by saying that the US president’s speech at the UNGA does not mean that the US plans to disown the deal.

At the same time, she said that the White House has “grounds” not to re-certify Iran’s compliance with the agreement in October.
