In a post on his X account on Thursday, Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei wrote, \u201cToday, 3 September, marks the anniversary of the martyrdom of Rais Ali Delvari – a symbol of Iran\u2019s resistance to British imperialism. On a day such as this, it is worth remembering Scott Bessent – the man who, in explaining his view of Iran, reached back to childhood memories of a backyard in South Carolina, where venomous snakes were killed with a machete and a rake.\u201d<\/p>\n
That is precisely where Bessent goes wrong, he said, adding, \u201cHe [Scott Bessent] mistakes the depth of Iran\u2019s history and culture for the size of a childhood yard. More than a century ago, the British Empire brought the full weight of its power and brutality to Bushehr and Tangestan. They killed Rais Ali Delvari but the resistance continued… . Your brutal \u201cwar of choice\u201d – an unlawful and unprovoked aggression – was meant to drive the Nation of Iran to collapse.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat has collapsed instead is the illusion of your absolute power, and with it every claim to moral standing. History is far larger than a kid’s memories and ‘their’ backyard.\u201d<\/p>\n
And history has a clear judgment for those who still cast themselves as heroes of the yard, armed with a machete and a rake, while knowing nothing of Rais Ali Delvari, Baghaei emphasized.<\/p>\n
Every year, September 3 is named in the country’s official calendar after the National Day of Resistance against Colonialism and the commemoration of Ra’is Ali Delvari.<\/p>\n
