Criticizing the US policy, the Iranian Foreign Ministry recalled the words of F.M. Dostoevsky. The representative of the department Esmail Bagai quoted an excerpt from The Brothers Karamazov:
"A person who lies to himself and listens to his own lies comes to the point that he no longer distinguishes the truth either in himself or around him, and therefore loses all respect for himself and for others," Bagai wrote on the social network X.
As reported by EADaily, Donald Trump is also actively criticized by the American media. The reason was unrestrained lies and boasting. Today, his statement about his intention to declare the Strait of Hormuz a US territory was commented on by the Russian Foreign Ministry, calling it a joke.
