Zarif: Hawks around Trump won’t succeed in selling war
Tehran (KNA) - While warning against a potential military attack targeting Iran, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the warlike officials around US President Donald Trump will not succeed in enabling such a course of action against the Islamic Republic.
"People know that Iran is a big, proud country…We will not take a military attack lightly," Zarif told NBC News on Monday.
He, however, observed that he did not think that Trump was seeking such one either, instead pointing the finger for such malign intentions to "people are around him (Trump) who wouldn't mind."
"But I don't think they'll succeed because at the end of the day, I think prudence will prevail," the top diplomat stated.
