TEHRAN (ISNA)- Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif called on the US President Barack Obama to abide by his remarks on interactions with Iran based on mutual respects.
"Well, I believe political leaders have to exercise leadership. I was rather disappointed that President Obama used language that was insulting to the Iranian people. I believe President Obama should, in fact, stick to his declared intention to deal with Iran on the basis of mutual respect. That’s what he said in his letter to the president. That’s what he said in his address to the General Assembly," Zarif said in an interview with Fareed Zakaria as asked what did you think of President Obama’s statement with Zionist regime's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington?

"You do not deal with another state with mutual respect by threatening them, by trying to intimidate them, particularly when you know that that is not useful, that is not of any utility. As I said, the Iranian people react very, very negatively to such languages of threat and intimidation,"Zarif told CNN.
