国际英语资讯:Iranian leaders slam Trumps anti-Iran remarks

Rouhani also reaffirmed Iran's support to the nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The deal is the outcome of two years of intensive multilateral negotiations, overwhelmingly applauded by the international community and endorsed by the UN Security Council (UNSC) as a part of Resolution 2231, Rouhani noted.

"The JCPOA does not belong to one or two countries. It is a UNSC document, which belongs to the entire international community," Rouhani said, adding that Iran would respond to any breach of the JCPOA.

Rouhani ruled out any talks with the United States on revisiting the 2017 nuclear accord, saying Tehran has "various options" if Washington pulls out, official IRNA news agency reported.

"Iran has never sought, is not now seeking and will never seek nuclear weapons," he said.

Also, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif slammed Trump's hostile remarks about Iran at the UN General Assembly as a "cheap" political stunt, Financial Tribune daily reported Thursday.

"His remarks, particularly where he mentioned the great Iranian nation, were cheap, empty rhetoric and are not worth a response," Zarif was quoted as saying.

"The shameless and ignorant remarks of the U.S. president and ignoring the realities of the Islamic Republic of Iran in its domestic and foreign policy and (its role) in the fight against terrorism reflect the depth of ignorance in his behavior and populist words," he said.
