Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has warned that Iran will cut the nuclear deal with six world powers into shreds if the other party chooses to tear it up, PressTV reported.

Speaking at a Wednesday meeting with a group of Iranian academic elites in Tehran, Ayatollah Khamenei welcomed the European governments’ condemnation of US President Donald Trump’s recent decision not to certify Iran’s compliance with the nuclear deal, officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

“But this is not enough for them (EU) to say that he (Trump) should not tear up the JCPOA. The JCPOA serves their interests. As long as the other party has not torn up the JCPOA, we will not tear it up,” said the Leader, warning that Iran will cut the deal into shreds if the other side tears it up.

“I do not want to spend time to answer the foul-mouthed president of the U.S.” the Leader told a number of talented students. “It's a waste of time for anyone to answer him.”

In a speech on Friday when announcing his new Iran strategy, Trump used a harsh and insulting language against Iran and leveled many charges against the Islamic Republic, especially against the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).

Iran's Leader said one should not expect Trump not to be angry with the IRGC which has stood against ISIS which itself is being created by the United States.

“As the servant of international Zionism the U.S. is creator of ISIS and the Takfiri current, and then you expect that it would not be angry against a force (IRGC) which has stood against ISIS,” Ayatollah Khamenei noted. He then added, "They're angry because today Islamic Republic of IRAN has managed to spoil their plots in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and etc."

Speaking about Trump's behaviour he said, "POTUS shows nonsense, but it shouldn't make us ignore US mischief. Everyone should be sure, US will be beaten and defeated by Iranians again."

He went on to offer a strategy: First, Europe must oppose moves by the US; second, Europe must avoid intruding into our defensive affairs. If they ask questions like, "why Iran is active in the region?"--well, it is none of their business. Or if they ask, "why does Iran have missiles?"--then, our response is, "why do they have missiles and nuclear weapons?"

In a final statement, Ayatollah Khamenei warned, "We won't accept Europeans singing along to the American's coercive words."
