Iranian media: When the ancestors of the United States were still brushing their teeth with urine, Persians were already fighting against the Roman Empire.
The Iranian media "Iran Spectator" wrote an article to mock the United States, saying that Iran is not Mexico, Ukraine, or European countries. You cannot threaten a country that is about to possess nuclear weapons... Please remember this:
When your ancestors were still using urine to brush their teeth, we were already fighting against the Roman Empire.
When George Washington was just a baby, the Persians were engaged in fierce battles with the Ottoman Empire.
We - never fear death.
The last two comparisons are not very hurtful, but extremely insulting.
Brushing teeth with urine is not fictional. Historically, ancient Romans and medieval Europeans did use the ammonia component in human urine as a cleaning agent for brushing teeth or washing clothes. This is a satire of the short history and backward civilization of the United States.
This is also a fact. A country with only over two hundred years of nation-building history dares to lecture an ancient country that has risen from the ruins of empires for several thousand consecutive years. It's indeed incongruous.
For so many years, the United States has tried every means possible in its Middle East policy, but what have been the results?
Americans have never understood that not every country can be like Europe, being weak, nor does every nation accept the carrot-and-stick approach.
The history of the United States itself is very short, so it acts like a nouveau riche, always thinking that having money and guns can rule the world. However, the so-called "American order" has already collapsed. The facts have proven that hegemonism is unworkable. The more hysterical the United States becomes, the more it indicates that hegemony is at its last gasp.
