Pezeshkian denounces US threat of ‘Stone Age’ as war crime

TEHRAN, Apr. 04 (MNA) – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has strongly condemned the US threats to bomb Iran "back to the Stone Age", saying it is a war crime against the Iranian people.

In a post on his X account on Friday, Pezeshkian said he asked his Finnish counterpart, Alexander Stubb, during a phone conversation on Thursday, if threatening to send an entire nation back to the Stone Age has any meaning but “a massive war crime”.

“Does threatening to send an entire nation back to the Stone Age mean anything other than a massive war crime? This was the question I asked my Finnish counterpart, who is a jurist,” he wrote.

This was the question “I asked my Finnish counterpart, who is a jurist…”

“History is full of those who paid a heavy price for their silence in the face of criminals,” the Iranian president emphasized.

Pezeshkian’s comments came in direct reaction to US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who recently posted a hostile message on social media declaring, "Back to the Stone Age."
