The Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei received thousands of teachers from different cities and provinces across the country on Saturday.

Adressing this meeting, the Leader reacted to recent remarks made by Trump during his trip to Arab states.

"None of the statements made during the US President's visit to the region are worthy of a response at all," Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei  said.

The level of Trump's remarks is so low that it is a source of embarrassment for the speaker and a source of embarrassment for the American nation, he added.

"Trump said he wanted to use power for peace; he lied. He and American officials, American governments, used power to massacre Gaza, to foment war wherever they could, to support their own mercenaries," he added.

He went on to say, "Yes, power can be used for peace and security. That is why we will increase the power of our country every day, God willing.", Mehr reported.

"But they (Americans) didn't do that. They used their power to give the Zionist regime ten-ton bombs to drop on the children of Gaza, on hospitals, on people's homes, in Lebanon, and wherever they could," the Leader highlighted.
