Iran's president is mocking Pres. Trump, going so far as to say that the White House is 'afflicted by mental retardation.'
Pompeo was in the Afghan capital of Kabul on Tuesday to meet the country's leaders. The war there is America's longest running.
Trump issued the threat in a tweet Tuesday. It came after Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the White House is"afflicted by mental retardation." Trump called that a"very ignorant and insulting statement." Foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian also called the U.S. initiative to build a global coalition to counter Iran"disturbing."
Government spokeswoman Sibeth Ndiaye said French diplomats had several high-level contacts in the past weeks with Iranian and American officials looking for ways to ease the tensions. The high-profile trilateral security summit focused on Iranian involvement in conflicts across the region, particularly in neighboring Syria.
Nikolai Patrushev's assessment contradicts U.S. claims that the aircraft was downed in international airspace over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran says it will possess over 300 kilograms of low-enriched uranium by Thursday, in violation of the deal. Europe separately faces a July 7 deadline imposed by Tehran to offer a better deal or Iran will begin enriching its uranium closer to weapons-grade levels.———Russia's national security adviser has rebuffed U.S. and Israeli attempts to isolate Iran and is urging both countries to show"restraint" toward the Islamic Republic.
Iran's president is mocking President Donald Trump, going so far as to say that the White House is"afflicted by mental retardation." Rouhani says the decision meant the"certain failure" of the White House's efforts. He spoke in a live television address on Tuesday. Iran and Russia have played a key role in backing Syrian President Bashar Assad and helping him overcome rebel forces in his country's civil war. Netanyahu has long warned that Iran now looks to leverage that influence into establishing a military foothold along Israel's northern front.
