Tehran, Iran – Iran’s political and military leaders are pointing the finger back at Donald Trump after the United States president sharpened his rhetoric during his first major tour of the Middle East.

“The level of those remarks is so low that they are a disgrace for the one who uttered them and a disgrace to the American nation,” he said, to chants of “Death to America” and others from the crowd.

Khamenei added that Trump “lied” when he said he wants to use power towards peace, as Washington has backed “massacring” Palestinians and others across the region. He called Israel a “dangerous cancerous tumour” that must be “uprooted”.

    I’m going to start skipping any article with the word slam in the headline. It’s low effort B.S. that is destroying our language.

      “I’m gonna stop reading news articles and it’s the word I don’t like that’s making people dumb! Not my refusal to read stuff!”

      I feel like as often as I see the word “slams,” I see someone making almost your exact comment. I’m gonna stop reading comment sections any time I see someone slamming the word “slams!”
