Trump Has Been Psychologically Defeated by Iran’s Leader
WANA (Jan 25) – Ali Motahari, the son of one of the theorists of the Iranian Revolution, former Vice Speaker of Iran’s Parliament, and a moderate reformist, said in an interview with an Iranian media outlet that “Trump has been psychologically defeated by the Leader of the Revolution.”
Motahari believes that the United States and Israel want Iran to collapse from within and then proceed with military intervention.
“They (the United States and Israel) currently want to create psychological warfare, stir up internal unrest, and pave the way for their own intervention, turning Iran into something like Libya or Syria so that it becomes completely subservient to them,” Motahari, the former Vice Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, said.
Ali Motahari considers the Iranian people different from the people of Libya, Syria, and other Arab countries. He views Iranians as much stronger, more intelligent in confronting hardships, and more aware of their enemies.
“The Iranian people are not comparable to the people of Libya or Syria; they enjoy a high level of social and political maturity and will not fall for their (the Americans’) deception.”
He emphasized that Iranians will never allow their country to turn into Libya or Syria.
