In the latest war of words between the two countries, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif warned the U.S. president to 'never threaten an Iranian.'
Iran’s foreign minister has hit back at President Donald Trump’s threats to “end” Iran, marking a fresh escalation of the war of words between the two countries despite recent efforts to defuse military tensions.
In recent weeks, tensions have been rising between the two nations, raising the specter of a catastrophic war in the Middle East. Additional U.S. forces have been deployed to the region, and Iran has reportedly been readying its conventional and proxy forces for possible attacks, although both sides have said they do not want war.
Zarif said Trump—like “other aggressors” before him, including Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan—would fail to humble Iran. “Iranians have stood tall for millennia while aggressors all gone,” he added. Though the ancient Persians were defeated and conquered by Alexander and their descendants subjugated by Genghis Khan, the Persian people and their culture endured.
