Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Reza Arif criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for prioritizing threats against other countries over the welfare of his own people.

Axar.az reports that “Last night, Trump used war as a pretext to justify his failures in providing ‘kindergarten and healthcare’ to the American people, and today he threatened Iran by targeting its ‘power plants and bridges,’” Arif wrote on X.

He continued: “Anyone who sacrifices the welfare of their own people to threaten others still lives in the ‘Stone Age.’”

He added that Iran has chosen a different path: to build and develop, even under pressure.
