Strong response from Tehran after Donald Trump’s controversial warning
April 2, 2026: Iran has sharply responded to remarks by Donald Trump, turning his “stone age” warning back at the United States. In a statement issued by its embassy in India, Tehran asserted that it would not be “driven back to the Stone Age” by any bombing threats from the US and Israel.
The statement carried a strong historical tone, emphasizing Iran’s long civilizational legacy. “We are a nation with 7,000 years of civilization. History knows us well,” it said, while accusing Washington of bringing “crimes against humanity” into the modern era. The remarks reflect an intensifying war of words as geopolitical tensions continue to rise.
This exchange underscores the deepening rift between the countries amid the ongoing conflict, with rhetoric from both sides becoming increasingly sharp. Analysts warn that such statements, while symbolic, could further strain diplomatic channels and contribute to an already volatile regional situation.
