The ministry said in a statement that Pompeo’s aimed at diverting attention from Washington’s violation of an international nuclear deal.
“Iran rejects the allegations and lies in this so-called new strategy and condemns the US Secretary of State’s ... open interference in its internal affairs and the unlawful threats against a United Nations member state,” the statement read.
The statement came after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo demanded broad changes in the course of the Islamic Republic's foreign and domestic policy.
Meanwhile, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has said that the United States cannot make decisions for Iran and other independent countries in the world .
"All world countries want independence in their decisions and the Americans may advance their agenda in some places through pressure but logic does not accept them making decisions for the world," Rouhani said , adding, "Today, we must help each other more" because the current US administration has regressed to 15 years ago and is repeating the same remarks made by former US President George W. Bush in 2003, he added.
