Iran Slams US War Machine for Bloodshed, Destruction


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – In a message on the occasion of the US’ Memorial Day, Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs lashed out at the US government for the belligerent policies that have killed 100,000 American soldiers and led to destruction and atrocities.

“Regretful that 100k American soldiers (have been) killed in battles waged because of US leaders' instrumental rationality & insatiable greed,” the Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a post on its Twitter account on Tuesday.

“US war machines have just led to killing, destruction, atrocities,” it said, adding that the time has come to stand against the “US violence and warmongering as remembering millions of lost lives” on the Memorial Day.

Memorial Day, marked on May 25, is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring the military personnel who have died while serving in the US Armed Forces.
