Iran commander hits back at US ‘Stone Age’ threat

Apr 2, 2026, 11:06 GMT+1

A senior Iranian commander pushed back at US remarks about bombing Iran “back to the Stone Age,” saying American soldiers would be buried.

An account attributed to Majid Mousavi of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps responded to comments by US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following President Donald Trump’s speech.

“It is you who will take your soldiers under gravestones, not Iran that you can return to the Stone Age,” the account said, adding that the United States was threatening “a civilization thousands of years old.”
