Zarif’s statements in general are a reliable indicator of what is not, in fact, true. In saying this, he is applying indirect pressure on the Biden team to end any opposition to Iranian actions, which the Biden team will be only too happy to do.
“Iranian FM: Trump trying to fabricate pretext to attack Islamic republic,” Israel Hayom, January 1, 2021:
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Thursday accused US President Donald Trump of attempting to fabricate a pretext to attack Iran, and said Tehran would defend itself forcefully….
Zarif said in a tweet: “Instead of fighting COVID in US, @realDonaldTrump & cohorts waste billions to fly B52s & send armadas to OUR region. Intelligence from Iraq indicate plot to FABRICATE pretext for war.”…
“Iran doesn’t seek war but will OPENLY & DIRECTLY defend its people, security & vital interests,” Zarif wrote.
Hossein Dehghan, a military adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said on Twitter: “I saw on the news that the Americans are on alert for fear of the revenge (over Soleimani’s killing) and have flown two B-52 bombers over the Persian Gulf”.
“All their military bases in the region are covered by our missiles. I advise the White House evictee (Trump) not to turn the New Year into mourning for Americans,” said Dehghan, a former defense minister.
Westman says
“Iran doesn’t seek war but will OPENLY & DIRECTLY defend its people, security & vital interests,” Zarif wrote.
Actually you don’t represent the Iranian people and your tyrannical government speaks AT the people and keeps them fearful with hangings and threats. And the chief Ayatollah spreads terrorist mischief as a, “vital interest”.
“All their military bases in the region are covered by our missiles. I advise the White House evictee (Trump) not to turn the New Year into mourning for Americans,”
And when you speak with threats like this we know you are very afraid and that you realize the removal of your terrorist government would be justified. If you continue pursuing a nuclear device, it is Israel, an ally of the US, that will be forced to stop that development. Why? Because your bearded chief predator has OPENLY & DIRECTLY declared his “vital interest” in annihilating Israel.
Jean Terry says
Of course Trump will not do that. Biden is being warned. China, Iran and Russia are thrilled with the idea of a Biden presidency. They will be able to get away with every evil act they perpetrate against the west.
Andrew Clarke says
Jean Terry, I think you’re spot on. Good comment.
A Gnostic Agnostic says
The accuser is the accused (as is always the case in/of the Islamic Deep State making such accusations).
In reality, the Iranian foreign minister is accusing Trump of what the Islamic Deep State will be doing (if/when Trump acts to protect the U.S. at any/all costs): fabricating a pretext for war. The Islamic Deep State is just sitting & waiting for some opportunity to fabricate such a pretext & openly commence military jihad warfare. Presently, the jihad (which includes the manufactured COVID-19 “pandemic”) is being waged silently & without knowledge of sleeping people incl. most world leaders. This is how the Islamic Deep State fights their wars: via “belief”-based deception (inducing a practical slumber in/of others such that they simply “go along”).
COVID-19 is “belief”-based deception: the real motive/will/intention behind such a manufactured “pandemic” is Islamic jihad & nothing else. The WHO is thoroughly compromised & composed of psychologically ill members engaging in this “believer vs. unbeliever” jihad. They are all criminals (like Muhammad).
The only weapon the Islamic Deep State has is “belief” such to manufacture “fear” – to have the world “believe” COVID-19 is anything other than Islamic jihad used to globally subdue the “unbelievers”.
What the Islamic Deep State can not do is fight with something they do not have: the truth.
Truly: Islam is 180-degrees upside-down as it takes a “believer” to ever “believe”:
i. themselves superior to others / others inferior to themselves
ii. evil is good / satan is god.
If any of the Islamic Deep State Nazi pigs whine & squeal about any content: ask them if they’d like a glass of whine to go along with that pathetic squeal of theirs. It is all the “believers” do at the truth: whine and squeal like pigs, the same they accuse the “Jews” of being (hence: the accuser is the accused). They all draw from their own (pig) nature & project it onto “Jews” like absolutely everything else. It is their pathological illness & was of Muhammad.

Query: Who of the two in the photograph above is more effectively representing the current Iranian regime?
Just asking.

Close call, eh, GreekEmpress?
My money would be on the gigolo American whom so many Vietnam Veterans despise to this day because he trashed them with a very broad brush.
Would be absolutely delicious if Kerry was indicted under the Logan Act of 1799 for “activities” during the Trump Administration. But that won’t happen BECAUSE he is a Democrat. And by now, if one does not know that a double standard exists here in America, then one is a fool or a Democrat, but, a la Mark Twain, I pretty much repeat myself.
Westman says
I, at first, rejected what men serving with Kerry in Vietnam had to say. Now I know better.
Our new ” leaders” believe the potential terrorists and proven terrorist nations of the world have somehow softened their ideology. They will have their inexperience corrected, yet what will be the cost to the citizens?
It is sickening to watch the West being dismantled by the hands of its own ignorant citizens who see the violence in the world yet believe that importing the citizens of foreign nations who carry the violent ideology will not bring violence. It’s like exposing yourself to a disease and thinking you’ll never contract it.

Walter Sieruk says
That picture of Zarif of Iran and Kerry of America together almost holding hands in again a visual reflection of the information contained in the Bible .For in Proverbs 11:21. “Though hand join in hand ,the wicked shall not go unpunished ” [K.J.V.]

Iran Spokesman Says Biden Can Lift Trump Executive Orders On First Day
In an interview with Fars news agency, Saeed Khatibzadeh, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman has said Iran was “prepared for any scenario” over tensions in the Persian Gulf, where the United States this week deployed a nuclear submarine and flew B52 bombers before redeploying the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz.
“We are not looking for tension, but we are very serious about defending our interests,” Khatibzadeh said. “We will not start any action but our response to any action will be definitive and strong.”
Khatibzadeh anticipated the situation after January 20, when President Donald Trump leaves the White House, suggesting that President-elect Joe Biden could “reverse all of the executive orders Trump has issued about Iran on his first day in office as President.” Trump has imposed draconian sanctions since leaving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action).
All of them are psycho photos? Trump is make Iran Great Again.
