Because of the threats from US President Donald Trump against Iranian military ships, Iran has summoned the Swiss ambassador to Tehran.
–
“The ambassador was informed that Iran would condemn the US President’s hostile and threatening statements and would counter any US attack on the Persian Gulf,” Abbas Mousavi said on Thursday. Switzerland represents the United States’ diplomatic interests in Iran, as Tehran and Washington have had no diplomatic relations for more than 40 years.

Trump warns Iranian Navy
Trump said in the White House on Wednesday night that the U.S. military would sink the ships in the event of targeted disruption by Iranian patrol boats. Under his leadership, the United States would not put up with provocations of Iran, such as recently in the Persian Gulf. A week earlier, the US Navy had said that eleven Iranian Revolutionary Guard boats had repeatedly approached “dangerous” and “provocative” US warships. The United States classified the Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization.

Mousavi urged the United States to respect and comply with international shipping regulations. In addition, Trump should use his soldiers in his own country to fight the corona virus rather than embark on “adventures” abroad, the spokesman added, according to the state news agency Irna.

“US soldiers have no business here”
Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Sarif also rejected Trump’s threat. “The US soldiers have no business in a location 7,000 miles from their home,” Sarif tweeted on Thursday. The US chief diplomat warned that the United States should not provoke the Iranian navy in the Persian Gulf. (SDA)
