Zarif to Trump: Time to Abandon Your Delusions

By Staff, Agencies

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif hailed the Iranian people’s massive turnout in rallies marking the 41st anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, saying it was time US President Donald Trump abandoned his delusions against the Islamic Republic.

“Iranians turned out in huge numbers to rally on the 41st anniversary of their revolution–and to honor their fallen heroes,” Zarif said in a post on his Twitter account on Tuesday.

He further addressed US president Donald Trump and America’s vassal states, saying, “Time to abandon your delusions.”

Zarif emphasized that all 82 million Iranians are united despite all the challenges and differences when it comes to defending the country.

Millions of Iranians from all walks of life on Tuesday flocked to the streets across the country to celebrate the 41st anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, which toppled the US-backed Pahlavi regime in 1979.

This year’s mass rallies are especially significant as they coincide with the 40th-day memorial for martyr Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, the former commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps [IRGC], who was assassinated together with his comrades in a US strike in Baghdad in early January.
