It was part of a desperate bid to deflect condemnation of Iran’s execution of its former deputy defence minister Alireza Akbari, a British national accused of spying for MI6.
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has called the killing “barbaric”.
Harry alleged he killed 25 people on 2008 and 2012 tours of Afghanistan. He wrote that his “ledger of death” gave him no satisfaction or shame.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry tweeted: “The British regime, whose royal family member, sees the killing of 25 innocent people as removal of chess pieces and has no regrets over the issue, and those who turn a blind eye to this war crime, are in no position to preach others on human rights.”
The inflammatory post drew a furious response from ex-top brass.

Col Richard Kemp, former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, told The Celeb Report: “The Iranian regime is guilty of crimes against humanity for the treatment of their people and their use of proxies to murder citizens around world.
“It also is a criminal act to support Putin’s war in Ukraine. Attacking Harry is proof they are clutching at straws to defend their execution of Alireza Akbari.
“But, at the same time, Harry should take responsibility for giving the world’s greatest terrorist government ammunition to fire at Britain.”
Former First Sea Lord Admiral Lord West added: “Harry was a stupid boy saying what he said but there is no equivalence with what Iran is doing.”
Ex-Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith added: “Iran criticising us on human rights grounds would be a joke if it wasn’t for the fact that they are maniacal, brutal, violent and dangerous.”
The PM’s spokesman said: “The execution of Alireza Akbari was a barbaric and politically motivated act with no legitimacy.
“Comparisons between that and servicemen and women carrying out legitimate actions would be entirely false.”
