Iranian FM slams Trump on Baghdad rocket attack claims
Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif has criticized the U.S. President Donald Trump for accusing Iran of being behind the recent attacks on the American embassy in Baghdad
“Putting your own citizens at risk abroad won't divert attention from catastrophic failures at home,” Zarif tweeted.
Zarif also incorporated in his tweet a photo showing Trump’s old tweets back in 2011 that stated, ‘Don't let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in order to get elected’.

Trump accused Iran of being behind the recent rocket attack, adding that he would hold Tehran accountable “if one American is killed” in rocket attacks in Iraq.
“Our embassy in Baghdad got hit Sunday by several rockets. Three rockets failed to launch. Guess where they were from: IRAN. Now we hear chatter of additional attacks against Americans in Iraq...,” Trump tweeted on Wednesday night.
