GENEVA: The United States supports "dictators, butchers and extremists" in the Middle East, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in a Twitter post Wednesday in a response to United States President Donald Trump`s State of the Union speech.
Tensions have ramped up between Iran and the United States since Trump pulled out of a multilateral nuclear deal last May and reimposed sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
"United States hostility has led it to support dictators, butchers & extremists, who`ve only brought ruin to our region," Zarif wrote in the Twitter post.
