General Naghdi Claims King Cyrus Was Made Up by Jew-Lovers

Mohammad Reza Naghdi, the cultural deputy of the IRGC said: “Cyrus was made up by the Pahlavis, and he was a nobody. Just a king who had good relations with Jews.”

Naghdi continued: You don’t find his name anywhere in history. He was hyped in order to create a tie between Iranian people and Judaism. They traitorously erased thousands of years of our history. The result of Achaemenids and Sassanids was people getting trampled over by barefooted.”

He added: “The Iranian nation is not 2500 years old. It is actually 7000 to 10000 years old. They edited our history in order to put Cyrus in it, only because he was friendly with the Jew(s), and they wanted Iran to be friendly with the Jews as well.”

Regarding the high prices, Naghdi said: “Why is it that some people ask: Why isn’t the supreme leader doing anything? This is not a dictatorship, he can’t do something about the prices.”  

He went on to say that the high prices have nothing to do with the revolution.
