Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has questioned Donald Trump’s past vows to his supporters of ending US involvement in “costly” foreign wars.

“Why President Trump was elected on a platform of putting an end to America’s costly involvement in forever wars in our part of the world?” Araghchi said.

“He has betrayed not only Iran by abusing our commitment to diplomacy but also deceived his own voters by submitting to the wishes of a wanted war criminal who has grown accustomed to exploiting the lives and wealth of American citizens to further the Israeli regime’s objectives,” the minister added.
