(reacting to comments by U.S President Donald Trump on preventing an attack to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei)
"Such worthless and insulting remarks, are 100% and absolutely rejected and condemned. Hurting the feelings of millions of Iranians and muslims inside and outside Iran would have no result but creating hatred and disgust toward American policies on the region and Muslims."

STORYLINE:
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman said his country is unable to allow U.N. nuclear watchdog inspectors to visit its nuclear sites that were attacked by the United States and Israel during the recent war.
"How are we supposed to be able to guarantee the safety and security of IAEA inspectors, while our peaceful nuclear facilities have been attacked last Monday, just five or six days ago," said Email Baghaei during a regular briefing.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that he expects Iran to open itself to international inspection to verify that it doesn’t restart its nuclear program.
Asked if he would demand during expected talks with Iran that the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog, or some other organization be authorized to conduct inspections, Trump responded that the Islamic Republic would have to cooperate with the group “or somebody that we respect, including ourselves.”
Israel relentlessly attacked Iran beginning on June 13, targeting its nuclear sites, defense systems, high-ranking military officials and atomic scientists.
In 12 days of strikes, Israel said that it killed around 30 Iranian commanders and 11 nuclear scientists, while hitting eight nuclear-related facilities and more than 720 military infrastructure sites.
More than 1,000 people were killed, including at least 417 civilians, according to the Washington-based Human Rights Activists group.
The U.S. stepped in on Sunday to hit three of Iran’s nuclear sites with bunker busters dropped by B-2 bombers — explosives designed to penetrate deep into the ground to damage the heavily fortified targets.
Iran, in retaliation, fired missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar on Monday, but caused no known casualties.
