‘Star Wars’ actor scorns Trump’s provocative Persian remarks on Iran

‘Star Wars’ actor Mark Hamill has released a sarcastic post, reacting to President Donald Trump’s provocative remarks in "supporting" Iranians.

“Please ignore the fact that I created a travel ban for you and threatened to bomb your cultural sites,” the prominent Trump critic wrote in Persian on his Twitter on Sunday.

Earlier, Trump published two posts, both in English and Persian, on his Twitter expressing his support for Iranians who protested against the unintentional downing of a Ukrainian plane.

Hamill’s post refers to an executive order Trump signed in 2017 to suspend refugee arrivals and ban entry to the US from Muslim-majority countries, including Iran.

Hamill’s remarks also mocked Trump’s threat to attack 52 Iranian cultural sites in case Iran retaliated for the assassination of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.
