RNA - "Trump has become the embodiment of international hatred from China all the way to Europe, Canada, and Mexico,” Rezayee wrote on his Twitter account on Sunday.

He, meantime, voiced his support for the recent remarks made by President Hassan Rouhani on the US stance towards Iran, and said, "The only way to contain (President) Trump is to act revolutionarily and decisively and the recent stances adopted by President Rouhani are worth supporting."

US President Donald Trump announced on May 8 that Washington would no longer remain part of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and promised to re-impose the highest level of economic sanctions against Iran.

The sanctions reinstated on Iran on May 8 included boycott of Iran's crude supplies and bans on transfer of its crude revenues. There is a 180 days interval before these sanctions come into effect. Other US secondary sanctions are reinstated this month.

According to Fars News Agancy, after Trump's declaration, the Iranian government issued a statement, calling the US withdrawal as "unlawful". The statement underlined Iran's prerequisites for continuing the deal with the five world powers. These conditions that were reiterated later by Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei later mainly included Iran's guaranteed crude sales and transfer of its revenues back home.
