Recent remarks by Marco Rubio about Iranian civilization drew a sharp reaction from a member of the Parliament's Presidium. Alireza Salimi says the positions of the U.S. secretary of state show that Washington's confrontation is not only with the Islamic Republic, but with Iran's civilization, which spans several thousand years.

Ambassador Arjan: Marco Rubio's recent statements about Iran's civilization drew a sharp reaction from the member of the Majlis. Alireza Salimi says that the position of the US foreign minister shows that Washington is not only against the Islamic Republic, but also against Iran's several thousand-year-old civilization.

Hojjatul Islam Alireza Salimi, a member of the Presidium of the Islamic Council, referring to the recent statements of the US Secretary of State against the several thousand years old civilization of our country, said: Marco Rubio's statements showed that America is an aggressor, bloodthirsty and disrespectful of values and dignity.

The representative of the people of Tehran, Ray, Shemiranat, Islamshahr and Fardis in the Islamic Council continued by saying that if before this the United States of America hid its evil goals in the envelope of some words, today Marco Rubio removed the veil of the hideous face of this country and stated: The Secretary of State of the United States is talking about a civilization that is several thousand years old and some of its old trees are older than the life of the United States since independence.

Hojjat al-Islam Salimi pointed out that the U.S. foreign minister's ugly statements about Iranian civilization show his jealousy towards Iranian civilization and culture and showed that the American authorities are not at war with the Islamic Republic of Iran, nor with the Islamic Republic of Iran, but with Iranian civilization.

In the end, he added: The US Secretary of State and other officials of this country should know that the Iranian nation has stood united against the aggressors for centuries and put every aggressor in its place, and this is how the Iranian nation treats the aggressors.
