ANKARA (Reuters) - Irans supreme leader called on Muslim nations to unite against the United States, saying Tehran would never yield to bullying, state television reported on Thursday.
The Iranian nation has successfully resisted bullying attempts by America and other arrogant powers and we will continue to resist... All Muslim nations should stand united against America and other enemies, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said.
Irans top authority criticized Trump for saying on Tuesday some countries in the Middle East wouldnt last a week without U.S. protection.
Such remarks are humiliation for Muslims ... Unfortunately there is war in our region between Muslim countries. The backward governments of some Muslim countries are fighting with other countries, Khamenei said.

(22,845 posts)That doesn't mean we roll over when it comes to Iran's support of terrorism. We have to keep our eyes on the ball. But it does mean we accord Iran the respect due a member of the community of nations. Remember - the US has been supporting freedom fighters/terrorists for decades. The problem has been that everytime we have a president who stands up for human rights and honest relations with other nations (like Jimmy Carter did), the next Republican president re-sets us back to zero.
