The sharp response came from the Iranian Embassy in Armenia, which posted a strongly worded message on X defending the late Iranian leader and criticising Trump's remarks.

It added that the United States, which celebrated its 250th Independence Day on July 4, could not understand the scale of public mourning because it had "neither civilisation, nor history, nor honour".
