Tehran, July 8 -- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Wednesday (local time) hit back at US President Donald Trump's remarks against Tehran, saying derogatory comments against the Iranian people would not diminish their stature and asserting that Iran would respond through "action" and courage.

"We do not answer vulgarity with vulgarity, but with action: fearlessly and with great valor," he added.
