Iran's foreign minister on Thursday rejected Donald Trump's condolences for deadly attacks in Tehran, calling the US president's words repugnant.

Trump had said he prayed for the victims of Wednesday's attacks that were claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group, but added that "states that sponsor terrorism risk falling victim to the evil they promote".

Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote on his Twitter account: "Repugnant White House statement .... Iranian people reject such US claims of friendship."

I know when the US has been hit by terrorism, Iran has condemned the attacks. I wonder if their condemnations were "no strings attached"?

Trump may be suffering from a mild case of Ted Nugent-ism right now. I've listened to Ted and he'll say some things that are rather ill-informed. He doesn't mean wrong, it just comes out that way.
