Donald Trump accuses Iran of funding Assad’s ‘unspeakable crimes’

Donald Trump used his first keynote speech abroad to accuse Iran of supporting Bashar al-Assad in committing ‘unspeakable crimes’ against his own people in Syria.

Addressing the leaders of Arab and Muslim-majority nations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Trump praised the Middle East region and the religion of Islam – a dramatic change of tone for the US president.

However, he used the opportunity to strongly criticise Iran – which wasn’t present at the summit – accusing them of funding terror across the Middle East, Metro reports.
