The pushback comes after the US president accused Tehran’s leadership of being ‘corrupt and ineffective’.

Tehran, Iran – Iran’s political and military leaders are pointing the finger back at Donald Trump after the United States president sharpened his rhetoric during his first major tour of the Middle East.

“The level of those remarks is so low that they are a disgrace for the one who uttered them and a disgrace to the American nation,” he said, to chants of “Death to America” and others from the crowd.

Khamenei added that Trump “lied” when he said he wants to use power towards peace, as Washington has backed “massacring” Palestinians and others across the region. He called Israel a “dangerous cancerous tumour” that must be “uprooted”.

    Thank you Trump for making me actually read what the idiotic religious zealot mullahs have to say because next to you these clowns actually may have something insightful

      I keep meaning to make a browser extension that automatically adds some version of “AND WELCOME TO THE JAM” anytime the word slam is used.

      I’m going to start skipping any article with the word slam in the headline. It’s low effort B.S. that is destroying our language.

        “I’m gonna stop reading news articles and it’s the word I don’t like that’s making people dumb! Not my refusal to read stuff!”

        I feel like as often as I see the word “slams,” I see someone making almost your exact comment. I’m gonna stop reading comment sections any time I see someone slamming the word “slams!”
