Iranians Shattered Aggressors Illusions Iran FM

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman cites a historical instance of the Roman Empire’s failing to secure victory against Persia amid the prospect of realization of a memorandum of understanding between Iran and the US following unfaltering Iranian retaliation and resistance.

Esmaeil Baghaei invoked the example in a post on X after reporting that Iran and the United States had edged closer to finalizing an MoU to end unprovoked American aggression against the Islamic Republic, halt an illegal American naval blockade, and secure the release of Iran’s frozen assets.

“In the Roman mind, Rome was the undisputed center of the world. Yet the Iranians shattered that illusion; when Marcus Julius Philippus (Philip the Arab) marched east against Persia, the campaign did not result in Roman victory — it ended in a peace established on Sasanian terms,” he wrote.
