Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has responded sharply to U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial and provocative comments made at the NATO summit in Ankara. In a post on his X account, Araghchi stated that Iran does not respond to rudeness with rudeness but with action, describing the response as fearless and marked by great bravery.

Tensions between Tehran and Washington have escalated since Trump threatened military aggression against Iran during the NATO summit. Earlier, a spokesperson for Iran’s parliamentary committee had also issued a direct warning to U.S. forces. Araghchi’s latest statement signals that Iran intends to respond to any provocation not through rhetoric but through concrete measures.

The exchange underscores the growing strain in U.S.-Iran relations following the summit, with both sides maintaining a confrontational tone amid regional uncertainty.
