Iran’s military leadership has issued a strong rebuke of what it calls hostile rhetoric from the United States. The General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces and the Khatam al-Anbya Central Headquarters released a statement condemning threats made by the US president.

The statement asserts that the threats, which it claims were delivered from a United Nations platform, are an attempt to legitimize aggression and incite global insecurity. The Iranian military dismissed the remarks as a tool for domestic propaganda within the United States, arguing they are disconnected from the realities on the ground.

This public condemnation from Iran’s top military command signals a sharpening of tensions between Tehran and Washington, framing US actions as a form of international banditry.
