Iran has no proxies, as Trump claims, but has friends-Foreign Minister tweets

Iran has no proxies but it has friends, tweeted Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Thursday, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump said that the country or its proxies planned a sneak attack on U.S. targets in Iraq.

"Don't be misled by usual warmongers, AGAIN, @realDonaldTrump: Iran has FRIENDS: No one can have MILLIONS of proxies. Unlike the US which surreptitiously lies, cheats & assassinates Iran only acts in self-defense," tweeted Zarif.

"Iran starts no wars, but teaches lessons to those who do."
