Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif this week demanded that the United States pull its troops out of the Persian Gulf region, arguing that such a move is “fully in line” with the interest of America and the world.
His comments, made via his official Twitter account on Monday, came amid skyrocketing U.S.-Iran tensions, mainly stemming from Tehran’s decision to shoot down an American drone this month. The incident is bringing the two countries closer to a military conflict. Both have warned they are ready for war.
“[U.S. President Donald Trump] is 100% right that the US military has no business in the Persian Gulf. Removal of its forces is fully in line with interests of US and the world,” Zarif wrote.
He went on to say the Trump administration “is not concerned with US interests — they despise diplomacy, and [have a] thirst for war.”
Since May, President Trump has approved the deployment of an additional 2,500 American troops and military equipment to the Middle East.
Before his decision, there were an estimated 70,000 American troops deployed to the region, including about 5,200 in Iraq and 2,000 in Syria, the Associated Press (AP) reported in May.
The Trump administration has begun to withdraw some troops from Syria, but it plans to leave a residual force to combat the lingering Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) threat and Iran. The Islamic Republic maintains a presence in Syria in support of the Russian-backed dictator Bashar al-Assad.
In Iraq, American troops are already on heightened alert stemming from the threat posed by Iran-allied Shiite militias in the country.

I demand that Iran’s foreign minister kiss a monkey’s bum.
Sounds like an idea Kerry would have given them to appeal to libertarian types
How about if we just demand Iran’s removal from the Middle East?
We’ll get right on that Javad.
p.s. Thank you Jimmy Carter
We’d be glad to leave if they’d let us.
But China pays them well to keep us there protecting China’s oil imports.
Well, that’s my opinion.
No kidding. They are even crazier than we thought.
OMG! OMG! OMG! Will some ne please for allah sakes drop a pallet ot cash in small denominations on the mullahs and stop this madness! Only Kerry diplomacy can save us now!
Dear Bitches,
When your Barbary Pirates threatened our commerce in the late 1700s,
we created something called “The United States Navy” to spank you.
That was when we didn’t have an economy, ships, etc., to speak of.
It took us a decade to make those ships out of old Georgia Oak.
Ten years or so we prepared.
Then, we utterly destroyed you, where you live.
That was when we were “nobodys.”
We are now the wealthiest country with the most powerful military on Earth.
Sadly for you we also export more oil than you do.
Are you ready to make the same bet...
If you again threaten us
That we will not waste you as we did then,
as we did your neighbors after 9/11?
Hmm?
Dummies, you should have asked Obama when you had the chance.
Fixed.
Kind of reminds me of Kim Jong-un a few years back.
Attack me. Why aren’t you attacking me. Please attack me. What do I have to do to get you to attack me?
BWAHAHAHA!
BWAHAHAHAHA
Iran’s collective mouth is passing checks it’s ass can’t cover.
Once we get energy independence, why not?
Let the rest of the world take care of themselves.
Just read Thomas Jefferson and the Barbary Pirates. Excellent book and a quick read.
Hey, F**K YOU, stupid mullah's.
If America wanted to, you'd cease to exist on the map by this time tomorrow.
Suck on that, you back-woods 7th century f**ktards.
We ARE Energy Independent!! F&&K Iran and F&&K the entire Middle east! 7th Centry backwoods monkeys!!!
From your keyboard to God's 31 inch widescreen 4k monitor!!
