Tehran, April 26 (RHC)-- U.S. Director Oliver Stone likened Donald Trump to "Beelzebub", a Biblical demonic figure, during a press conference at 36th International Fajr Film Festival (FIFF) in Tehran on Wednesday.  

Asked who the U.S. president resembled in cinema, Stone simply responded: "Beelzebub."  The American film director went on to strongly criticize U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, saying that under the Trump administration, "the wars continue." 

The three-time Oscar winner Stone is in Iran for the first time and spoke with Iranian journalists in a press conference during the 36th International Fajr Film Festival (FIFF) at the Charsu Cineplex in Tehran. 

This year the FIFF will run from April 19th to the 27th and will focus on Italian cinema and its influence on Iran's domestic film industry.
