Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi took a jab at Israel, referring to the new nickname given to the American president. Abbas Araqchi highlighted that Israel would find itself with no options but to run to 'daddy' to escape Iranian missiles.
On Saturday, Araqchi also suggested to Trump that if America is truly serious about a nuclear deal with Iran, then they should refrain from using "disrespectful tones" towards Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.
The Iranian minister warned Tel Aviv that Tehran wouldn’t hesitate to unveil its "true strength." This highlights how fragile the ceasefire that began earlier this week truly is.
Minister Abbas Araqchi tweeted, "The great and powerful Iranian people, who have shown the world that the Israeli regime had no option but to run to ‘daddy’ to escape our missiles, will not tolerate threats and insults. If delusions lead to bigger mistakes, Iran won’t hesitate to uncover its true capabilities, which will surely erase any confusion about Iran’s power."
It's noteworthy that during the NATO summit in the Netherlands, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte used harsh language against both Iran and Israel, referring to Trump as 'daddy'.
This was a reference made by Mark Rutte to Trump’s unexpected use of foul language on live TV, occurring just after the ceasefire when both Iran and Israel launched missiles at each other.
Avoid Disrespectful Tone towards the Supreme Leader
Araqchi warned Trump against using "disrespectful and unacceptable tones" towards Iran’s supreme leader, thereby offending "millions of his true followers."
Araqchi stated, "If President Trump genuinely wants a deal, he should abandon the disrespectful and unacceptable tone towards Iran’s Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Khamenei and stop offending his millions of true supporters."
Foreign Minister Araqchi's remarks came after Trump claimed in a social media post the previous day that he had saved Ayatollah Ali Khamenei from being assassinated, with Trump stating that Iran’s supreme leader showed ungratefulness.
Trump had posted a day earlier, "I precisely knew where he was hiding and would not allow Israel or the world’s largest and most powerful American military to take his life."
Trump had said, "I saved him from a very ugly and degrading death, and there’s no need to say thank you, Mr. President."
U.S.-Iran Talks
Trump claimed he was considering lifting sanctions on Iran recently, which were a major demand from Tehran’s leadership.
Trump asked Iran to restart nuclear talks and wrote, "But no, instead, I became the target of anger, hatred, and hateful statements, and I immediately halted any relief in sanctions and all other work."
Meanwhile, Iran denied claims that it would resume talks with the United States on its nuclear program.
It is noteworthy that the ceasefire between Iran and Israel only came after the United States attacked Iran’s three nuclear sites: Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz.
Iran in the World Order
Meanwhile, President Trump stated that Iran needs to fall in line with the world order; otherwise, their situations will worsen. He mentioned that in recent days he was working on lifting sanctions and other measures, offering Iran a chance to find itself in a better position.
Trump reiterated that he knew exactly where Khamenei was hiding but decided that he wouldn’t let Israel or the U.S. forces end his life.
The American president stated that it was puzzling to hear Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declare he had won the war with Israel, knowing well that the statement was "false."
