In a tweet on Sunday addressing US President Donald Trump, Amir-Abdollahian said
"do not get excited, sedition, unrest and chaos are different from gatherings
and peaceful protests to pursue people's livelihoods.
"The Iranian people prefer the national security and religious democracy of the
Islamic system to the domination of the White House's hypocritical and terrorist
policies.
Trump made meddlesome remarks about the recent gatherings in protest against
economic conditions in Iran and said the Iranian government should "respect
their people's rights, including right to express themselves. The world is
watching!"
Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Ghasemi also denounced US officials'
duplicitous and opportunist support for recent gatherings, saying the Iranian
nation gives no credit to the opportunistic remarks of American officials or Mr.
Trump.”
The price hikes triggered demonstrations earlier this week in a number of
Iranian cities, including the capital, Tehran, and Mashhad, with the
participants demanding the government resolve the economic woes.
