Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi says US President Donald Trump’s latest remarks on Iran reflect the failure of Washington’s policy toward Tehran, Al Jazeera reports.

In a post on X, Gharibabadi said Trump’s comments, including threats of further attacks, were “not a sign of strength, but rather an admission of the failure of a policy built on brute force, sanctions, and threats for years”.

He added that Iran must respond to Trump in “his own language … apparently, he understands the language of force better.”
