TEHRAN/NEW DELHI, APRIL 2: Iranian authorities issued a sharp rebuttal to U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent warnings, stating that the Islamic Republic cannot be driven back to the “Stone Age” by military force. In a statement released through the official channels of the Iranian Embassy in India, Tehran turned the President’s rhetoric back on Washington, asserting that the United States is instead bringing ancient-era violence into the 21st century.
The diplomatic response followed a televised address by President Trump, who declared that the U.S. would hit Iran “extremely hard” over the next three weeks to dismantle its infrastructure. Tehran affirmed that its long historical identity would persevere despite the escalation of Operation Epic Fury.
“We are a nation with 7,000 years of civilization. History knows us well,” the embassy statement affirmed. The communication further stated that it is the U.S. administration that has carried “the killing of children and crimes against humanity” from primitive times into the modern era.
In a separate move, IRGC Brigadier General Seyed Majid Moosavi addressed the Pentagon’s stance, suggesting that American leadership is blinded by “Hollywood delusions.” He maintained that the U.S., with its 250-year history, is overstepping by threatening a civilization that predates it by millennia.
Iranian military spokespersons also challenged the U.S. assessment that Iran’s defense capabilities have been neutralized. They declared that Washington knows nothing of Tehran’s strategic depth and warned that such assumptions would only deepen the military quagmire facing American forces in the region.
