Gen. Mousavi: Any War with Iran Will Be a “Lasting Lesson”
WANA (Feb 15) – Iran’s top military official has issued a sharp warning to U.S. President Donald Trump, saying that any military confrontation with Iran would result in consequences that would serve as a “lesson” for Washington.
Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, criticized recent remarks by the U.S. president claiming global superpower status, describing them as unbefitting of a head of state.
“The statements made by the U.S. president, who claims to be a superpower leader, are not worthy of a president and are reckless,” Mousavi said.
He questioned what he described as contradictory messaging from Washington, asking why Trump speaks of negotiations while simultaneously threatening war. “If Trump intends to wage war, why does he talk about negotiations?” the senior commander said.
Mousavi further warned that any decision to confront Iran militarily would have far-reaching consequences. “Trump must know that he would be entering a battle that will become a lasting lesson. The outcome of such a move would ensure that he would no longer engage in bullying rhetoric on the global stage.”
