Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has called on U.S. President Donald Trump to treat Iran in a civilized manner. “The complexity and tenacity of Iranians is famously known in our magnificent carpets, woven through countless hours of hard work and patience,” he said, in a posting on X on Friday night, June 27, in response to Trump’s raging rant against Khamenei. “But as a people, our basic premise is very simple and straightforward: we know our worth, value our independence, and never allow anyone else to decide our destiny.
“If President Trump is genuine about wanting a deal, he should put aside the disrespectful and unacceptable tone towards Iran’s Supreme Leader, Grand Ayatollah Khamenei, and stop hurting his millions of heartfelt followers.
