Tehran: A senior Iranian official called Donald Trump a “crazy President” whose threats against Tehran weren’t going to work, adding that if the US President wanted to talk, he’ll not only have to show some respect, but come up with a consistent message.
Trump is “crazy” and his administration is “confused”, Iran’s Director of Foreign Affairs for the country’s parliament, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, told CNN in an exclusive interview ON Monday.
Hossein’s remark comes after Trump in a series of tweets on Sunday asked Iran “never to threaten” the US and warned Tehran that if it wants a fight, it would be “the official end” of the Islamic nation.
“In his mind, Trump thinks he has a gun to Iran’s head with sanctions and he is trying to shut down our economy,” Amir-Abdollahian told CNN. “This is all in his imagination. Now he wants us to call him? This is a crazy president.”
“Within the White House there is a lot of conflicting opinions,” Amir-Abdollahian said, pointing to “warmongers” in the West Wing and naming National Security Adviser John Bolton.
