Iran's First Vice President Says Trump is Still in the "Stone Age"

Xinhua News Agency, Tehran, April 5 - According to a report by the Islamic Republic News Agency on the 5th, Iran's First Vice President Arif stated on social media that U.S. President Trump remains in the "Stone Age" by threatening other countries at the expense of the well-being of the American people.

Arif said that Trump, under the pretext of war, claims he cannot take care of the American people's "kindergarten and healthcare," and is now threatening to destroy Iran's power plants and bridges. "A person who threatens other countries at the expense of his own people's well-being is still stuck in the 'Stone Age'."

Arif also stated that Iran has chosen a different path and will continue to advance construction even under pressure.

According to the Associated Press, Trump stated this week that the military is his top priority. During an internal event at the White House on the 1st, he said that the federal government cannot simultaneously take care of "trivial matters" like daycare and healthcare. "We are at war, we can't take care of daycare."

On the 5th, Trump posted on social media again, demanding that Iran open the Strait of Hormuz and threatening that if it does not do so, Iran will "live in hell." He said, "April 7 will be Iran's power plant day and bridge day," implying a severe bombing of Iran's power plants and bridges.
