“The United States of America was once an extremely powerful country with enormous influence around the world. While they were in the process of becoming the third-rate backwater you know today they did some really stupid things. This was one of them.”

It comes from an account claiming to be the Iranian embassy in Zimbabwe: xcancel.com/IRANinZIMBABWE/…/2041063891497632113#…
Blue check (meaningless since Musk takeover) but account seems to exist since 2018. Too lazy to check whether handle had checkmark prior to Musk…might still be a parody account
