On his Facebook page, Foreign Minister Mohammadjavad Zarif pointed to the anti-US billboards which were recently set up across Tehran and then removed by the City Council, saying "In the past few days we saw much development. There was much expression of love, both directly and indirectly, to me and to the foreign policy even in the thoroughfares of the capital! Which of course does not raise much concern.”
He added
"It makes me feel happy to see people and high-ranking officials support the
foreign policy. In the past two days also I was to see strong affirmations and
support which hearten me and my colleagues. I hope that we will be able with
the support of people and statesmen to take a load off the shoulder of the
country and the people, so that we are not shamed before your kindness.”
