Iran mocks Trump’s nuclear strike threat

The spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry has mocked Donald Trump’s recent threat of a nuclear strike on Iran.

“It is a grotesque absurdity that they claim to seek peace and prevent a nuclear crisis, yet their proposed solution is ‘one big glow’,” Esmaeil Baghaei said in a post on X.

He accompanied the post with a clip from the 1964 American film, Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, by director Stanley Kubrick.

Kubrick’s antiwar satire tells the story of the accidental launch of a nuclear attack on the USSR that the US tries but fails to stop.

Baghaei’s post follows a comment Trump made to reporters on Thursday, where the president said that if the ceasefire with Iran fails, “you’re just going to have to look at one big glow coming out of Iran”.

Trump has made ending Tehran’s nuclear programme one of the conditions for ending his war with Iran.
