In a recent press briefing in Beijing, Iran’s ambassador to China, Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli, fired back at any comparison between Tehran and Caracas. ‘Iran is not comparable to Venezuela,’ he stressed, adding that if the US tried to intervene, ‘we’re ready to deliver the necessary and regrettable response.’ 🚨
This exchange follows a social media post by President Trump, who said the US would come to the ‘rescue’ of protesters in Iran. With tensions simmering, the ambassador’s comments underline how digital diplomacy is becoming the new battleground for global powers. 🌐
For tech-savvy young adults from Mumbai to Manila, these back-and-forths are more than headlines—they highlight how quickly online words can trigger real-world consequences. As Fazli put it, words have weight, and Tehran is not afraid to push back. 💬
While the standoff continues, many are calling for cool heads and dialogue over escalating rhetoric. After all, in today’s hyperconnected world, global crises can spread in a click, not just across borders but into our social feeds. 🤝
