By

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif lashed out at the governments that try to use the outgoing US president’s policy of “economic terrorism” as a leverage against Iran although they have condemned Trump’s assault on the rule of law.

“Those who succumbed to Trump’s lawless bullying for 4 years—to protect their skin at OUR people’s expense—now condemn his assault on the rule of law,” Zarif said in a post on his Twitter account on Friday.

“But still try to use his Economic Terrorism against Iran as ‘leverage’,” the Iranian minister noted.

“If you can’t grow a spine, gain foresight—for your own sake,” Zarif added.
