To be offended by the words of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is like being offended by a mirror. As in Surah Az-Zukhruf (43:78): "We have certainly brought you the truth, but most of you have turned away from the truth."
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine added that the world is tired of jesters.
It is time for Tehran to stop drowning its own people in blood, lining its pockets and fueling numerous wars at the expense of Iranians who seek peace and a better life.
