Iran’s Permanent Mission to the UN has said that US President Donald Trump’s threat to “bomb Iran back to the Stone Age reflects ignorance, not strength”, adding that it acts as evidence of intent to commit war crimes.
“Iran’s civilisation spans more than 7,000 years, whereas the U.S. is scarcely 250 years old. Civilisations are defined by their history, culture, resilience, and scientific contributions,” the mission says on X.
“The world remains indebted to the civilisation and knowledge that Iranian scholars have bestowed upon humanity for millennia. Such a civilisation cannot be destroyed by bombing.”
