Zarif to US President: We Don’t Shy from Crushing Aggressors

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif took to Twitter on Sunday, addressing the official account of the outgoing US president with a denouncement of the B-52 bomber aircraft patrolling the Middle East.

The top Iranian diplomat stressed that the Islamic Republic doesn’t shy from “crushing aggressors.

Zarif’s remarks followed the earlier US CENTCOM post about US B-52 bomber aircraft conducting what was described as a “second Middle East presence patrol of 2021 as key part of CENTCOM’s defensive posture”.

CENTCOM said that the patrol is the fifth mission of its Bomber Task Force into the Middle East in the past several months.
