Iran mocks Trump nuclear threat with Dr Strangelove reference

Iran mocks Trump nuclear threat with Dr Strangelove reference Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei mocked US President Donald Trump over recent comments threatening a possible nuclear strike on Iran. “It is a grotesque absurdity that they claim to seek peace and prevent a nuclear crisis, yet their proposed solution is ‘one big glow’,” Baghaei wrote in a post on X. The spokesman accompanied the post with a clip from Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, the Cold War satire directed by Stanley Kubrick about an accidental nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. Baghaei’s remarks came after Trump told reporters on Thursday that if the ceasefire with Iran collapses, “you’re just going to have to look at one big glow coming out of Iran”. Trump has repeatedly said dismantling Tehran’s nuclear programme is a condition for ending the conflict.
