Iranian embassy criticizes Trump over threats against Iranian leaders

The Iranian Embassy in Armenia has addressed US President Donald Trump, Report informs.

The embassy shared the message on its X account.

"People can be killed, but ideals cannot. You killed Ayatollah Khamenei, but in reality, you broke a perfume bottle whose scent spread everywhere," the embassy said, condemning threats Trump made in an interview with Axios.

Trump said on July 4 that talks had been paused for a week because of the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

According to Trump, neither side would fire at the other during that period.

"They are all there. One shot and we could kill them all, but we are not going to do that because then we would have no one left to negotiate with," he said.
