Trump's claims sign of hostility to Iran: Senior Iranian cleric

'Iran is shining in today's world, and the claims by the unwise and impolite president of the US on Iran and the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) is the sign of his jealousy, spite and hostility,' Ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani said on Friday.

In his anti-Iran speech on October 13, Trump called Iranians, including the nation and the IRGC 'terrorists'.

'The allegations indicate his war against thought, mind, insight, sacrifices and brevity; the elements that have endowed our country with security and dignity,' said the ayatollah.

'No negotiation and bargain is accepted on weaponry, since we will provide Iran with whatever is required for its authority and integrity,' he said, reacting to US officials meddlesome statements on Iran's missile industry.
