Trump's threats, symptomatic of US aiding extremists: Iran FM
Tehran (KNA) - Iran has criticized US President Donald Trump's hypocritical approach on chemical weapons, saying his threats show that the United States is aiding extremists.
"Trump's cheap shot against Iran, which has consistently condemned use of chemical weapons by anyone & is itself the victim of their use by [Iraq's former dictator] Saddam [Hussein] with US support, is hypocritical," Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in a post on his official Twitter account on Tuesday.
He added that the US president's "threats to repeat impulsive acts of aggression" are "symptomatic of US policy helping extremists."
