Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Saeed Khatibzadeh, has criticised U.S. President Donald Trump, accusing him of making inconsistent and excessive statements amid rising tensions between both countries.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the Antalya Diplomatic Forum in Turkey, Khatibzadeh dismissed Trump’s recent remarks suggesting the United States could resume military action against Iran if no agreement is reached.

“The U.S. president talks too much,” he said, adding that Trump’s comments lacked clarity and contained contradictions. “He said contradictory things within the same statement. I don’t know exactly what he meant.”

Despite the sharp criticism, the Iranian official maintained that Iran does not seek conflict, emphasising that war would not yield positive outcomes.

“Iran believes war cannot lead to any positive outcome,” he said, while affirming that the country remains prepared to defend itself if attacked.

Khatibzadeh warned that Tehran would respond decisively to any aggression, stating that Iran would resist any military action.
