🚨NEW: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran responds to Trump's comment that he plans to return them to the Stone Age:
“It is you who are taking your soldiers to their graves, not Iran, whom you seek to drag back to the Stone Age.
Hollywood delusions have so poisoned your minds that, with your paltry 250-year history, you threaten a civilization over 6,000 years old.”
Iran has responded strongly to Trump's "Stone Age" threat, with Brigadier General Seyed Majid Moosavi saying, "It is you who are taking your soldiers to their graves, not Iran, whom you seek to drag back to the Stone Age. Hollywood delusions have so poisoned your minds that, with your paltry 250-year history, you threaten a civilization over 6,000 years old"
Moosavi's statement highlights Iran's rich history and cultural heritage, emphasizing that the country's 6,000-year-old civilization won't be intimidated by Trump's threats. Other Iranian officials have also pushed back against Trump's remarks, with Mehdi Tabatabaei, a deputy for communications and information in the Iranian president's office, saying, "Our distance to the Stone Age spans thousands of years—dozens, even hundreds of times greater than the distance that he and his allies have"
Iran's military has vowed to continue resisting US pressure, with Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaghari stating that the facilities targeted in recent attacks were "insignificant" and that Iran's strategic military production takes place in secure locations. The Iranian government has also accused the US of committing crimes against humanity and warned of "crushing" retaliation
The US and Iran have been exchanging threats and military actions, with the US conducting strikes on Iranian targets and Iran responding with missile and drone attacks. The situation remains volatile, with global markets reacting nervously to potential disruptions in oil supplies
