The Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, Major General Ali Abdollahi, stressed that Iran “will under no circumstances allow US ships to enter the Gulf again,” asserting that the return of the US military to the region has become “a distant dream for the American president.”

General Abdollahi affirmed that Iran, its people and leadership alike, is determined to drag the United States and the Israeli entity into the quagmire they have created with their own hands. He stated that “Iran’s strong strategy lies in the fact that the longer this confrontation continues, the deeper the enemies sink into the quagmire of defeat.”

He added that the Iranian Armed Forces had succeeded in “paralysing the US Navy, which Trump and his commanders regard as the pinnacle of American military power.” He noted that the US Navy was no longer capable of approaching the waters surrounding the Gulf or Iranian territorial waters.

In the same context, Brigadier General Yadollah Javani, Deputy Commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) for Political Affairs, affirmed that the Iranian Armed Forces were prepared to confront any aggression and were waiting for the enemy to commit  a “strategic mistake.” He stressed that Iran would become a “graveyard for invaders” if the enemy proceeded with ground operations against the country.

For his part, Mohammad Mokhber, an adviser and assistant to Iran’s Supreme Leader, considered the psychological warfare and threats issued by US President, Criminal Donald Trump and the head of the so called "goverment" of the Zionist enemy entity, Criminal Benjamin Netanyahu to be indicative of desperation.

These statements come amid escalating regional tensions, as numerous media reports discuss the Zionsit enemy entity's so called "government", headed by the Criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, considering an attack on Iran and preparing plans in this regard. These plans reportedly include strikes against infrastructure, energy facilities, and nuclear installations.
