Iran Blasts Trump Over Global Unpopularity
Iranian officials have publicly criticized US President Donald Trump as oil prices surge and ceasefire efforts stall. General Hossein Mohebbi, a spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, directly addressed the American public in Farsi, questioning why many nations harbor negative feelings towards the US.
Mohelbi pointed to the fact that numerous countries burn or trample the US flag during protests and asked: 'Why does your president not dare to travel to many countries?' and 'Why does he need such extensive security measures?'
The comments come as oil prices continue to rise due to uncertainty surrounding US-Iran negotiations and the potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The strait is a vital corridor for global oil transportation, and its closure has significantly impacted global markets.
