Iranian commander Seyed Majid Moosavi criticised US remarks about pushing Iran “back to the Stone Age”. He was replying to US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Moosavi said, “It is you who are taking your soldiers to their graves.” He added that a country with a “250-year history” was threatening a civilisation over 6,000 years old. The exchange comes amid the ongoing conflict between United States and Iran. Fighting began after US-Israel strikes in February. Iran has since targeted US-linked assets and disrupted the Strait of Hormuz. (PC: NDTV)
