The spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry has mocked Donald Trump’s recent threat of a nuclear strike on Iran, Al Jazeera reports.

“It is a grotesque absurdity that they claim to seek peace and prevent a nuclear crisis, yet their proposed solution is ‘one big glow’,” Esmaeil Baghaei said in a post on X.

He accompanied the post with a clip from the 1964 American film, Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, by director Stanley Kubrick.
