Morgan Ortagus NUKES Iran's foreign minister after he tries to lecture Mike Pompeo on being 'civilized'

This is an actual tweet from the foreign minister of Iran (yes, Iran).

Do you even know what CIVILIZED means, @SecPompeo?

Is it sending drones over weddings to kill innocents?
Piracy on the high seas?
Maybe it’s pouring lethal weapons into a region to enable inhuman wars?

Or, is it a millennia-old nation that hasn’t attacked anyone for centuries?

As you might expect, State Department spox Morgan Ortagus has a few thoughts and reminders for the foreign minister.

Does the FM of the world’s top sponsor of terrorism consider hanging gays from cranes, stoning women, repressing minorities, allowing 9-year-old girls to be married off & jailing protestors of the compulsory hijab civilized? No wonder the Iranian people hate this backward regime. https://t.co/uFSb441r3P
