In a post published on his X account on Friday, Esmaeil Baqaei reacted to Trump’s description of the US strikes as “just a love tap” and his insistence that the ceasefire remained in effect despite the attacks.
The Iranian spokesman said euphemistic language and delusional rhetoric could not alter the realities created by Washington’s unlawful and reckless actions.
“Vermin-like nocturnal scheming and naive euphemisms such as ‘a light slap’ can do nothing to erase the profound disgrace born of narcissism, greed, reckless miscalculation, and lawless irresponsibility,” Baqaei said.
“The consequences of this whimsical adventurism and roguish behavior have now become clear to the entire world. Disjointed, delusional tweets no longer hold any sway over reality—though, as ever, ‘the deeper they sink into folly, the more inventive they become in justifying it’,” the Iranian spokesman added.
