Geneva: Laughter during US President Donald Trump's speech to the UN General Assembly was a sign of the United States' isolation, the head of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards said on Wednesday, Fars News reported.
"You saw and heard their laughter," Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said, according to Fars.
Some delegates at the general assembly on Tuesday laughed and muttered when Trump, in a speech, praised the "extraordinary" achievements of his adminstration.
Trump and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani exchanged taunts at the assembly session, with Trump threatening more sanctions against Tehran and Rouhani suggesting the U.S. president suffered from a "weakness of intellect".
"America is the symbol of oppression in the world," Jafari said.
"And the oppressed and those in pursuit of freedom are uniting against them."
