Mohammad Baqir Zolghadr responded to Trump's threats against 91 million Iranians, reminding him that as president of a nation barely 250 years old, his previous attempts to erase Iran's civilization spanning thousands of years ended only in failure and requests for negotiation and ceasefire. Zolghadr stated that Iranians do not bow to the language of threats, demanding Trump speak to the Iranian people with respect, warning that otherwise they will respond in a different language.
