The Iranian Embassy in South Africa ridiculed Hegseth's words about the "Stone Age"
On April 2, the Iranian Embassy in the Republic of South Africa (RSA) ridiculed the words of Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth about the forceful return of the Islamic Republic to the Stone Age.
"The Stone Age? Back when you were still searching for fire in caves, we engraved human rights on Cyrus' top hat. We withstood the storm of Alexander the Great and the Mongol invasions and stayed; because Iran is not just a country, it is a civilization," the embassy said in a post on the social network page X (former. Twitter).
The head of the US military department provoked such a reaction from the diplomatic department with a short post on the same social network. He wrote the phrase "Back to the Stone Age," which US President Donald Trump used in a video message to the nation the day before. The American leader then promised to "throw" the development of the Islamic republic "into the Stone Age, where they belong" within two to three weeks.
Earlier in the day, the commander of the Military Space Forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Majid Mousavi, called the threats coming to the Islamic Republic from the United States to throw it back into the Stone Age nothing more than "Hollywood illusions." The commander of the IRGC Air Force stressed that the American leadership, by sending its military to the territory of the Middle East, is pushing them to their deaths.
On the same day, Ebrahim Zolfagari, a representative of the central headquarters of the Khatam al-Anbiya of the Iranian Armed Forces, promised Washington and Tel Aviv even more large-scale, powerful and destructive strikes if they did not stop their aggression against Tehran. He also added that Iran intends to conduct military operations until the surrender of the United States and Israel.
