TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif lashed out at the US President Donald Trump, saying that he will be fully responsible for any adventurism as he is leaving office.
Zarif blasted Trump’s hollow allegations against Iran, reiterating that he cannot divert attention from his malfeasance during his tenure through publishing of “worthless” photo.
He stressed that the United States has wasted over $7 trillion dollars for warmongering in the region, costing nearly 60,000 American casualties.
.@realDonaldTrump uses a worthless photo to recklessly accuse Iran.
Last time, the US ruined our region over WMD fabrications, wasting $7 TRILLION & causing 58,976 American casualties.
FAR WORSE this time. Trump will bear full responsibility for any adventurism on his way out.pic.twitter.com/scCeSwjUmE

Late on Sunday, the Iraqi officials announced that at least three Katyusha rockets had landed within Baghdad’s Green Zone.
The rockets landed close to the US diplomatic mission, causing sirens blaring within the compound without any casualties apart from some material damage.
On Wednesday, Trump accused Iran of being behind the recent rocket attack, warning Tehran that he would hold it accountable “if one American is killed” in rocket attacks in Iraq.
In relevant remarks, Zarif blasted US President Donald Trump for raising allegations on Iran’s role in the recent rocket attacks against the country’s embassy in Baghdad.
“Putting your own citizens at risk abroad won’t divert attention from catastrophic failures at home,” Zarif wrote on his twitter page on Thursday.
The tweet also incorporated a photo showing Trump’s old tweets back in 2011 in which the US president said “don’t let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in order to get elected”.
Another tweet by Trump in 2012 said, “I always said @BarackObama will attack Iran, in some form, prior to the election”.
