Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei strongly criticized recent actions by the United States, suggesting they mirror the tactics of terrorist organizations. Baqaei specifically referenced the publicized display of images depicting the destruction of bridges and civilian infrastructure by the US. He stated this behavior is a troubling “achievement” for a nation that historically presented itself as a champion of global order, liberalism, and counter-terrorism efforts. The comments underscore growing tension between Iran and the US. Tehran views such actions as hypocritical, given Washington’s stated principles. This rebuke highlights Iran’s concerns regarding the impact of US policies on civilian populations and essential infrastructure. The statement marks a further deterioration in the already strained diplomatic relationship.
