“Had No Choice but to Run to Daddy”: Iran Mocks Israel Using Trump’s New Nickname
Leveraging the U.S. President’s latest nickname, Iran taunted Israel, claiming it had “no choice but to run to Daddy” to avoid being crushed by its missile strikes.
Would you like it to sound more formal, more casual, or punchier for headlines?
In Short:
-
Iran says Israel turned to the U.S. to shield itself from missile attacks.
-
Urges Trump to avoid using disrespectful language toward Ayatollah Khamenei.
-
Trump claims he spared Iran's Supreme Leader from assassination.
In a post on Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, echoing the U.S. President’s latest nickname, mocked Israel for having “no choice but to run to Daddy” — a jab suggesting it sought U.S. protection to avoid being hit by Iranian missiles. Araqchi also urged Trump to drop the “disrespectful tone” toward Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei if the U.S. hoped to secure a nuclear deal with Iran.
The Iranian minister warned Tel Aviv that Tehran wouldn’t hesitate to unveil its “true capabilities,” underscoring the fragility of the ceasefire that took effect earlier this week.
“The great and powerful Iranian people — who showed the world that the Israeli regime had no choice but to run to ‘Daddy’ to avoid being flattened by our missiles — do not respond kindly to threats or insults,” he tweeted. “If delusions lead to further mistakes, Iran will not hesitate to reveal its true capabilities, which will shatter any illusion about Iran’s power.”
The comment came after the recent NATO summit in the Netherlands, where NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte referred to Trump as “Daddy” — a jab at his aggressive rhetoric toward Iran and Israel. The nickname stemmed from Trump’s outburst on live TV, where he used the F-word to vent his frustration as both nations continued exchanging missile fire despite the ceasefire.
