Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Responds to Rubio's Claims Against Iranian Civilization: He Unwittingly Admitted to Facts, Including That Iran as a Character Has Persisted for Thousands of Years / The Continuity of a Civilization and Culture Cannot Certainly Be the Result of Geographic and Military Conquests

Foreign Ministry spokesperson, responding to remarks by the US Secretary of State in Athens about referring to Greek and Western civilization history and interpreting Iran-Greece wars in antiquity, said: This speech and the framing chosen by the US Secretary of State should be seen as part of America's cognitive war against Iran and, in a sense, against the world.

Ambassador Arjan: The press conference of Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Beqai was held today, Monday, October 20, 1405, with the presence of media and journalists.

In response to a question about the recent statements of the US Secretary of State in Athens and his reference to the history of Greece and Western civilization and the interpretation of the wars between Iran and Greece in ancient times, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: This speech and the choice of this arrangement by the US Secretary of State should be considered part of America's cognitive war against Iran and, in a way, against the world. Presenting a completely crooked and upside down interpretation of historical events to justify America's belligerence is both dangerous and an insult to Greek culture and civilization.

He added: Of course, the US foreign minister admitted some facts unintentionally; Including the fact that Iran has continued for thousands of years not as a piece of land or just a geography, but as a character, a concept and an idea.

Baqaei stated: The continuity of a civilization and culture cannot be the result of geographical and military conquests. The secret of Iran's permanence and continuity is nothing but its interactivity. If you look at Pasargad, you will see the signs of all the cultures and civilizations that were known as rivals of Iran at that time.
