[Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Uses Rats and Cats to Describe Enemies and Allies] Early this morning (May 26th) local time, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Bagaei posted on social media, quoting a passage from Shamsdin Tabriz's poetry collection: "Ten thousand rats, though arriving noisily, dare not cast a glance at the lion-like cat. The cat's imposing majesty has already shattered their gathering. Know that the cat's very essence is a perfectly unified whole." The post also included an image depicting a map of Iran as a Persian cat. This post was shared by Iranian media, who pointed out that Iran possesses internal cohesion and an unshakeable will, while its external enemies, though numerous, cannot match it in terms of spirit and strategic deterrence, and will ultimately collapse.
