Dwarfish Thief in Giant’s Robe Iran’s Shakespearean Slam Exposes US as Petty Crypto Bandit

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman has unleashed a masterful literary broadside against Washington’s latest brazen act of economic piracy, wielding William Shakespeare’s pen to strip bare the hollow arrogance of a superpower caught red-handed stealing Iranian assets.

In a post on X on Monday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei quoted directly from British playwright William Shakespeare’s Macbeth to eviscerate US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s shameless boast that Washington had seized roughly one billion dollars in Iranian cryptocurrency holdings.

“Now does he feel his title / Hang loose about him, like a giant’s robe / Upon a dwarfish thief,” Baghaei wrote.
