“Iran has defeated two nuclear powers that some other countries were also supporting,” Esmaeil Baghaei said
The spokesman for the Islamic Republic’s Foreign Ministry declared victory over the United States and Israel on Wednesday after President Donald Trump signed the memorandum of understanding with Tehran.
“Iran has defeated two nuclear powers that some other countries were also supporting,” Esmaeil Baghaei told reporters in Tehran, according to the Tasnim News Agency, a semi-official outlet associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He added, “It is not a slogan, but we are truly a superpower.”
The comments were posted on the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s official social media accounts on Thursday morning but were deleted shortly afterward.
