Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the Islamic Republic\u2019s security and stability depend on its own people, adding that \u201cinfiltrators\u201d will not be permitted to violate the rights of the Iranians.<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s security and stability depend on its own people, who \u2014 unlike the peoples of [US President Donald] Trumps regional \u201cbffs\u201d\u2014have the right to vote and to protest,\u201d Zarif said in a post on his official Twitter account on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
He emphasized that the Iranian people would protect their \u201chard-earned rights\u201d and would never let infiltrators \u201csabotage them through violence and destruction.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since Thursday, groups of Iranian protesters have staged demonstrations in several cities to voice their anger over rising prices and economic conditions. Sporadic violence has erupted during the protests, causing a number of casualties.<\/p>\n
Trump posted several tweets to express his support for protests in Iran. In his latest tweet on Tuesday, the US president said, \u201cThe [Iranian] people have little food, big inflation and no human rights. The US is watching!\u201d<\/p>\n
Zarif\u2019s twitter came after Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi denounced US President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cinsulting\u201d tweets about the recent protests in a number of Iranian cities, urging him to avoid interfering in the Islamic Republic\u2019s internal affairs.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s completely paradoxical and garbled stance against the Iranian people is not a new issue,\u201d Qassemi said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Addressing a Cabinet session on Sunday, Iran\u2019s President Hassan Rouhani condemned his American counterpart\u2019s comments about the protests in Iran.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis man who today in America wants to sympathize with our people has forgotten that a few months ago he called the Iranian nation terrorist,\u201d the Iranian president said, adding, This person who is against the Iranian nation from head to toe has no right to feel sorry for the people of Iran.<\/p>\n
He said that national security, peace and coherence as well as the unity that existed in Iran were the biggest assets of the country in the restive Middle East region, emphasizing that people from all faiths and ethnicities enjoyed peaceful coexistence in the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
