Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Friday asked if US President Donald Trump actually wanted to put Iran back in the Stone Age, as there was no oil being pumped in the Middle East back then.
In a post on X, he said, "There's one striking difference between the present and the Stone Age: there was no oil or gas being pumped in the Middle East back then. Are POTUS and Americans who put him in office sure that they want to turn back the clock?" https://x.com/araghchi/status/2039781828547014863?s=20 Iran's President, Masoud Pezeshkian, shared an open letter to all Americans saying that Iran has never initiated a war. https://x.com/drpezeshkian/status/2039418009052119190?s=20 He then also termed the attacks on hospitals and pharmaceutical companies as a crime against humanity. In a post on X, he said, "What message does attacking hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and the Pasteur Institute as a medical research center in Iran convey? As a specialist physician, I urge WHO, the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders and physicians worldwide to respond to this crime against humanity." https://x.com/drpezeshkian/status/2039747584223334677?s=20 Iran's Parliament Speaker, MB Ghalibaf said, "We followed the money. Last week, a handful of bankers and hedge funds met, decided to hold Washington's Iran war policy hostage, then launched a campaign." https://x.com/mb_ghalibaf/status/2039735427448418389?s=20 Earlier, Seyed Majid Moosavi, Iranian General, said that Hollywood has poisoned their minds. "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." https://x.com/smajid_moosavi/status/2039636773630832883?s=20 Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said that the US will now target bridges and electric power plants next. In a post on Truth Social, he said, "Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn't even started destroying what's left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST! President DONALD J. TRUMP" This comes amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran, with Trump threatening to bomb Iran "back to the Stone Ages" if necessary. Iran has condemned the threats, calling them a strike on civilian infrastructure and warning of consequences for America's global standing. The situation has led to concerns over global energy supplies, with India, a major oil importer, seeking alternative sources, including increased imports from Russia. (ANI)
