"The Iranians had a good time this summer," Hojjatoleslam Kazzem Seddiqi said while referring to the US president's plot against Iran and Iranian people.

He reiterated that President Trump by declaring the so-called Hot Summer project tried to provoke unrests in Iran through financial pressure and economic turmoil, but failed.

In relevant remarks on Wednesday, Iran’s Ambassador and Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Eshaq Al-e Habib called on the UN Security Council to introduce and condemn the US for flagrant violation of the 2231 resolution.

"In this meeting that is held to consider the implementation of resolution 2231, the Council should therefore consider and address all obstacles created in its implementation, in particular its provisions on promoting and facilitating the development of normal economic and trade contacts and cooperation with Iran," Al-e Habib said, addressing the UNSC in New York.

He made the remarks after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo repeated the claim that Iran was in “open defiance” of the 2231 resolution at a UNSC meeting on Wednesday on the implementation of the resolution.
