Baghaei, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in response to the recent statements of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, regarding the consequences of military aggression against Iran, likened this mindset to 'Caligula's worldview.' He introduced this perspective as a symbol of emptiness and tyranny and deemed it a serious threat to world peace.
Emphasis on Historical Differences
The spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that there are significant differences between today's world and ancient Rome. He pointed out that the modern Caligula, unlike his ancient counterpart, is equipped with a stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. This reality means that 'nihilism' and disregard for the consequences of military actions can turn into a political weapon that could have irreparable consequences for world peace.

The spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs further added that history has shown that any neglect of peace and stability can lead to war and bloodshed. He referred to the responsibility of major and powerful countries in establishing global peace and security and called for international cooperation to prevent new crises.
These statements come at a time when tensions between Iran and the United States have escalated due to Washington's unilateral decisions and its hostile policies in the region. Baghaei, emphasizing the need for diplomacy and dialogue, called for respect for the rights of nations and the prevention of war and bloodshed in the world.
Ultimately, Baghaei warned that if such thoughts and policies continue, their consequences will affect not only Iran but all countries and peoples of the world. He expressed hope that the international community would learn from history and strive to maintain peace and security.
