Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, on Friday responded to US President Donald Trump’s criticism of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
In a post on his X account, Araghchi demanded that Trump show respect to Khamenei if he genuinely wants to reach a deal with Iran on its nuclear program.
“The complexity and tenacity of Iranians is famously known in our magnificent carpets, woven through countless hours of hard work and patience. 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,” wrote the Iranian Foreign Minister.
“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,” he added.
He also took a jab at Israel, asserting it had to ask Trump to intervene in the fight against Iran due to Iran’s threatening missiles, while threatening that Iran still has capabilities that it has not yet shown.
“The Great and Powerful Iranian People, who showed the world that the Israeli regime had NO CHOICE but to RUN to 'Daddy' to avoid being flattened by our Missiles, do not take kindly to Threats and Insults. If Illusions lead to worse mistakes, Iran will not hesitate to unveil its Real Capabilities, which will certainly END any Delusion about the Power of Iran. Good will begets good will, and respect begets respect,” concluded Araghchi.
The post follows Trump’s lengthy Truth Social post earlier on Friday, in which Trump said Khamenei was lying about a victory against Israel and revealed that he had been working on potential sanctions relief for Iran, which he promptly ceased after Khamenei's comments.

Q: Why do Iranian Mullas never go out to party?
A: Because they can get bombed anywhere!
He respected him greatly as he did not kill him with certainty. We knew where he was and could kill him. Trump wanted him alive to negotiate of which he has not, a very poor decision. He may die soon.
“Iran’s FM to Trump: Respect Khamenei if you’re serious about a deal”
Satan is referred to as “the father of lies” and Khamenei is probably a son of his because he does nothing but lie.
Please clap.
Respect from 12′ 3″ away.

Really? FAFO.
Krazy khamenei must thank President Trump for not being in microscopic fragments.
Hang Khamenei with a nice new rope. Very respectful.
Arrogant radicals. Some of the PEOPLE of Iran may have a rich heritage of talent and intellect, but the religious nuts who run it have NOTHING about which to brag. How DARE President Trump disrespect the Supreme leader! Blow it out your ear, reprobate!
Nobody has to respect terrorists, especially President Donald J. Trump.
Gotta find him before you can respect him.
Khamenei should go back to trying to run a mosque and give up trying to run a country
Hang Khamenei with a nice new rope. Very respectful.
Just smash this regime of psychopathic savages and be done with it.
