Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has shared a Homer Simpson meme as he reacts to a statement by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
He posted a statement by Rubio on Iranian spending, according to which the US official said: “Imagine an Iranian regime who, instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorist groups and building up all of these weapons, had invested that money into Iran, for the people of Iran.”
In the same post, he also shared a statement by Trump, who said: “It’s not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things … We have to take care of one thing: military protection.”
He posted these along with a GIF showing Homer Simpson disappearing into bushes, which implies a silent, awkward retreat from an embarrassing situation.
