Following US President Donald Trump's 'Stone Age' threat to Iran, Tehran has turned the jibe around and accused Washington of bringing crimes from the Stone Age to the modern world.
In a statement on the official X channel of the Iranian embassy in India, Tehran stated that it will not be 'driven back to the Stone Age' by bombing from the US and Israel.
'We are a nation with 7,000 years of civilization. History knows us well. What is clear is this: it is YOU who have carried the killing of children and crimes against humanity from the Stone Age into the modern world,' the statement read.
Furthermore, IRGC commander Brigadier General Seyed Majid Moosavi on X also called out the US for sending its troops to their graves.
'It is you who are taking your soldiers to their graves, not Iran, whom you seek to drag back to the Stone Age. Hollywood delusions have so poisoned your minds that, with your paltry 250-year history, you threaten a civilization over 6,000 years old,' he wrote on X in response to US defence Secretary Pete Hegseth's 'back to the stone age' post on the social media platform.
