Iranian General Warns Washington Over Trump’s Threats
Senior Iranian military spokesman warns any U.S. or Israeli military provocation will trigger decisive retaliation, the consequences of which Washington has never experienced in its history
Iran | PUREWILAYAH.COM - Senior Iranian military officials have issued a sharp warning to Washington following recent statements by U.S. President Donald Trump, dismissing his rhetoric as detached from reality and dangerously provocative.
Speaking on behalf of Iran’s armed forces, Abolfazl Shekarchi, the senior spokesman of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, described Trump’s comments as baseless, delusional, and little more than verbal bravado.
Shekarchi stressed that such statements do not go unnoticed. He said Iran’s armed forces remain on full alert and are closely monitoring any hostile military movements by adversaries in the region.
Full Surveillance of U.S. and Israeli Military Activity
According to Shekarchi, Iran’s armed forces are actively tracking all movements by the U.S. military and the Zionist regime across the region with precision and constant readiness.
He emphasized that this monitoring is carried out using Iran’s indigenous defensive and offensive capabilities, developed to ensure strategic deterrence and operational superiority.
Shekarchi added that the armed forces operate with the backing of a united, resilient, and steadfast Iranian population, describing public support as a decisive pillar of Iran’s deterrence posture.
U.S. Presence Framed as Psychological Warfare
The senior spokesman characterized the continued U.S. military presence in the region as an instrument of psychological warfare, coercion, and intimidation rather than genuine security concerns.
He said that Washington’s military deployments are aimed at pressure and extortion, not stability, and warned that such tactics only deepen regional insecurity.
Shekarchi stated that if U.S. officials possessed genuine rationality and accurately understood Iran’s real military capabilities, they would refrain from even speaking about the possibility of war.
Warning of Decisive and Crushing Response
Shekarchi warned that any provocative action by U.S. forces or affiliated armed groups would be met with a decisive response from Iran.
He said Iran would not hesitate to respond with overwhelming force, stressing that any confrontation would result in the destruction of U.S. troops and military equipment.
The spokesman further warned that all American resources, bases, and interests across the region would immediately fall within range of Iranian firepower in the event of escalation.
Iran: Not War-Seeking, But Unafraid
Reiterating Iran’s strategic position, Shekarchi said the Islamic Republic has repeatedly demonstrated that it does not seek war or instability.
However, he underlined that Iran harbors no fear of conflict if one is imposed, and will defend its sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national interests without hesitation.
He stressed that Iran’s doctrine is based on deterrence and defense, but that restraint should not be mistaken for weakness.
In closing, Shekarchi issued a direct warning to the U.S. government, cautioning against any reckless or ill-considered action.
He said such moves would ignite a widespread regional conflagration, the consequences of which Washington has never experienced in its history.
The statement concluded with a clear message: responsibility for escalation would rest squarely on those who initiate aggression, and Iran’s response would be neither limited nor symbolic. (PW)
