Washington Post: Iran’s top diplomat calls Trump’s statement on Tehran attacks ‘repugnant’
Iran’s foreign minister on Thursday derided as “repugnant” a statement from President Trump that linked twin attacks in Tehran to what he called Iran’s support for terrorism.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Intelligence Ministry identified five of the attackers — all killed during Wednesday’s bloodshed — as Iranians who had left the country to join the Islamic State militant group in Iraq and Syria.
