Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman says the remarks made by the US Special Representative for Iran and his threat to assassinate the new IRGC Quds Force commander are in fact an official publicizing of the US' state terrorism. "The remarks by this State Department official are an official publicizing and blatant unveiling of targeted and state terrorism by the United States," Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said on Thursday. “Now, after the Zionist regime [of Israel], the US is the second regime to officially announce that it has employed the resources of its government and armed forces for acts of terrorism and that it will continue them in the future,” the spokesman added. He said Washington’s recourse to acts of terrorism is a clear sign of weakness, desperation, and confusion among the officials of the American regime. Mousavi condemned brazen remarks and terrorist acts by US leaders and urged the international community to also condemn such measures as well as moves to encourage state-sponsored terrorism, because the continuation of this trend would sooner or later befall everyone.
