Iranian government minister dismisses Trump threat: 'Unstable, delusional figure'
Sayed Reza Salihi-Amiri, Iran’s minister of cultural affairs and tourism, reportedly said in an interview with the Associated Press, "Trump is an unstable, delusional figure marked by a set of contradictions."
The comments come as President Donald Trump said Sunday that if no peace deal is reached with Iran in the next 48 hours, "we're blowing up the entire country."
On March 26, Trump extended an ultimatum a second time in the same week for Iran to completely open the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping traffic.
Over the weekend, Trump warned the Iranian government that if it doesn't fully open the critical maritime passageway for oil and trade by Tuesday, "you'll be living in Hell."
Salihi-Amiri reportedly told the AP of the Strait of Hormuz, "it is open to the world, but closed to Iran’s enemies."
