TEHRAN - Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Friday that the Trump administration’s extremist approaches is hurting the American people.

“The U.S., especially its current extremist regime, has chosen a path, exercising hostility towards the Iranian people and opposing all its former governments’ actions, that has no benefit for the Americans,” the spokesman remarked.
