In a message posted on his X account on Wednesday, on the occasion of the anniversary of the 1979 US Embassy takeover, known as the National Day of the Fight against Global Arrogance, Baqaei pointed to the US misapprehension of the Iranian nation by the administration of President Donald Trump.

“Pride comes before a fall. Driven by greed & hubris, and acting in the service of a deceitful regime, you dragged your country into an unlawful and atrocious war against Iran,” he wrote, in reference to Trump and how he was deceived by Israel to launch an illegal war.

“Your calculations failed, your assumptions collapsed, and your strategic misjudgments became painfully evident — all because you fundamentally misunderstood Iran and, more importantly, the resilience, determination, and national pride of the Iranian nation,” the message continued.

Baqaei also taunted Trump over the result of the US midterm elections, saying, “The American people have now sent you a clear message. Yet, if you continue to disregard reality, dismiss the lessons of history, and persist in this dangerous course, the consequences of this grave miscalculation will extend far beyond what you have already witnessed.”

“Attacking Iran does not bring victory. It only results in defeat. Iran is not a nation that can be understood through arrogance, intimidated through threats, or brought to its knees through aggression,” the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said, advising the US president to keep repeating these facts as long as their meaning becomes impossible for him to ignore.
