Baqaei: Iranians’ resistance against aggressors has a long historical record

Pars Today – The spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that Iranians’ resistance against bullying aggressors has a history as long as Iranian civilization itself.

According to Pars Today, Esmaeil Baqaei, spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, wrote in a social media post on Sunday evening: “Throughout history, Iranians have stood not only against single invaders, but against powerful "pluses" and grand "legionnaires" — and have always emerged with honor.”

He added: “On a day like this in 53 BC, at the Battle of Carrhae, General Surena, with far fewer men and far more limited resources, crushed Rome’s heavily armored legions in a masterful 'asymmetric' victory. Crassus, one of the wealthiest and most powerful Romans was slain; the myth of Roman invincibility was shattered forever; and Rome’s dream of eastward expansion died on the battlefield.”

Baqaei continued: “History repeats itself — for those who refuse to study it or respect its lessons.”
