Iran says Trump reaction to Isis killings in Tehran was repugnant

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/08/trump-reaction-to-isis-attacks-in-iran-repugnant-says-foreign-minister

. . . .

The death toll in the attacks on Tehran’s parliament complex and the shrine of revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini – the first to be claimed by Islamic State in Iran - rose to 17 on Thursday.

Trump said the US would “grieve and pray” for the victims, but added: “We underscore that states that sponsor terrorism risk falling victim to the evil they promote.”

That was condemned by the Iranian foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, who tweeted: “Repugnant WH (White House) statement … as Iranians counter terror backed by US clients.”

Iran’s intelligence ministry said the five men who carried out the attacks were Iranians who joined Isis in Iraq and Syria before returning last summer.
