Iran’s foreign minister has hit back at President Donald Trump’s threats to “end” Iran, marking a fresh escalation of the war of words between the two countries despite recent efforts to defuse military tensions.
In recent weeks, tensions have been rising between the two nations, raising the specter of a catastrophic war in the Middle East. Additional U.S. forces have been deployed to the region, and Iran has reportedly been readying its conventional and proxy forces for possible attacks, although both sides have said they do not want war.
Zarif said Trump—like “other aggressors” before him, including Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan—would fail to humble Iran. “Iranians have stood tall for millennia while aggressors all gone,” he added. Though the ancient Persians were defeated and conquered by Alexander and their descendants subjugated by Genghis Khan, the Persian people and their culture endured.
Masky_Jay_Hoody Alexander and Genghis did not have a bomb that could make your whole country a crater... and Trump is as crazy as they get! Otherwise your theory is sound!
You are anti USA, shame on you Newsweek
I thought it was Afghanistan that was Alexander the Greats downfall.
Trump doesn’t know who either one of those guys are.
Iran Don’t count on it
tmurphyNZ The Selucids lasted two centuries while the Ilkanate lasted one. I would have chosen better examples to highlight Iranian defiance.
Again, Newsweek openly roots AGAINST the US...
And Leonidas. Xerxes got his ass kicked!
The country will, but not the evil corrupt rulers...
Hmmmm... That was Persia... And both conquered that part of the world
History gives Iran a history lesson: They 'survived' by not being Persians anymore, but islamists. They were bulldozered over by the Arabs and once they accepted islam, their culture was permanently changed (destroyed). So much surviving.
Clearly realisation has set in, that Our🇺🇸beloved & greatest President, Trump, will stop at nothing to protect Our🇺🇸Nation. Our Nation’s finest President🇺🇸
Those guys didn't have B-52s. Or Atom bombs! Let Trump make the mistake of Aggression. Nothing like War Crimes tribunals as a parting gift!
and they’ll stay in the dark ages for it...beating women and killing gays....
Fact of the matter is none of those figures are American. Don't ever underestimate that. Iran would be nothing without Obama.
How stupid, like Trump really knows who those people were.
Really? That’s history for Newsweek? Clayton Journalism on steroids, indeed.
Trump has no clue who either of those historical figures are and what they did. Trump is a very, very ignorant “man”
Don't flatter him like that
We know what side Newsweek is on
Except Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan were nothing compared to the United States of America. Buckle up!

Trump says there’s ‘no indication’ of threatening actions by Iran“If they do something, it’ll be met with great force. But we have no indication that they will,” Trump told reporters Monday outside the White House. Foreign policy by gaslight. Well he made threats towards Iran on Sunday, if no threats from them then why threaten them Then why he is moaning and sending childish threats ? Is it to sound tough ? If it is he failed cuz they're hilarious.
