Govt expected to take serious action against Trumps remarks: Raisi



IFP- Ebrahim Raisi, the conservative presidential candidate in Irans 2017 election, has lashed out at Trumps anti-Tehran remarks, saying that the Iranian nation expects the government to show practical, rather than rhetorical, response to the US presidents statements.





Raisi, who is now the Custodian of Astan Quds Razavi (Imam Rezas holy shrine in Mashhad), said the smiles of US authorities in the past and their angry words today are not a new thing to the Iranians.

In a Farsi statement on Saturday quoted byTasnim, Raisi said, The fact is that the threats and insults of US president against Irans history, geography and grandeur, after four years of negotiations, provided a good experience for the Iranian people whose wise Leader had repeatedly predicted such things.

It has to be proved in practice that these threats and sanctions have no effect on our nations will. Hard work and being at the service of the nation while relying on our domestic capabilities is a practical means of standing up against the United States, he stressed, calling on Rouhanis government to take practical action against the US.

Raisi, meanwhile, hailed the harmony among the Iranian officials against Trumps words, describing it as a necessary auspicious event.
