New Delhi: Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif went hammer and tongs at the Trump administration at the 5th edition of the Raisina dialogue in the national capital. He accused the U.S. President of always violating international laws.
Iranian Foreign Minister said, "in the past, every state has violated international law. At least they found a reason to justify it. President Trump openly says that I don't care about international law and we are going to attack cultural sites of Iran."He even bashed Trump administration over Secretary Mike Pompeo's statement where he claimed that if Iran wants its people to eat then it should do what people say. Javad Zarif also claimed that only Daish terrorists and President Trump are happy with the killing of General Qassem Soleimani. He asserted that General Soleimani lead an important fight against the ISIS.
