Iran FM spox says Iranians shattered illusion of invasion against Iran

In a post on his X account on Sunday, Esmaeil Baghaei, the spokesman for Iran's Foreign Ministry, wrote, "In the Roman mind, Rome was the undisputed center of the world. Yet the Iranians shattered that illusion; when Marcus Julius Philippus (Philip the Arab) marched east against Persia, the campaign did not result in Roman victory — it ended in a peace established on Sasanian terms: the emperor had to come to terms!"

Earlier, Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf issued another warning to aggressors, stating that the United States will be trapped in an endless war that it cannot win, if repeated by President Donald Trump. Ghalibaf wrote, "We felt trapped in two unwinnable wars and a disproportionate share of fighters came from our neighborhoods — JDV, Hillbilly Elegy, Ch 11." He mocked the US by adding a comment alongside Vance's quote: "Hillbilly 2 incoming. America's poor & forgotten will foot the bill for the broligarchs, Dimon the demon, and the beltway war merchants."

Ghalibaf referred to JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon, whom he called "Dimon the demon," as well as other warmonger oligarchs close to the White House and the lobby benefiting from wars in Washington.

According to Mehr News, these statements reflect Iran's stance against potential US-Israeli aggression, emphasizing historical resilience and warning of the consequences of war.
