A day after President Donald Trump took aim at Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni over her alleged reluctance to get involved in a war against Iran, Iran’s embassy in Ghana extended a hand of friendship to the European country that has been considered a close US ally.
In a bizarre post on
Just like applying for a job vacancy, the embassy listed its “qualifications,” citing “a 7,000-year-old civilization, poetry, architecture, and a shared love of food, food that takes longer to prepare than Trump’s attention span.”
‘We have been in a ‘cold’ war on this for 2,000 years’
On a lighter note, it said that “the only thing Iran and Italy have ever fought over is who invented ice cream.”
“Faluda came first. Gelato came with a bang. We’ve been in a ‘Cold’ war over this for 2,000 years,” it said.

To this a netizen responded, asking a question about cutting the pasta, “Is pasta cut into small pieces in Iran? To this, the Embassy said that Iran respects the “territorial integrity of Spaghetti”.
The embassy responded, writing, “Iran categorically denies all allegations of cutting pasta. We respect the territorial integrity of Spaghetti. Any claims to the contrary are baseless and do not reflect our official position.” (Please just don’t check our kitchen for this. We don’t want to lose a potential ally.)
Let us tell you that when Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni condemned Trump’s criticism of Pope Leo XIV as “unacceptable”, Trump hit back at her and said, “I’m surprised at him. I thought he had courage, but I was wrong.” All this happened at a time when the Pope was repeatedly appealing for an end to the ongoing war in the Middle East.
