Iran Doesn’t Care Much About Trump’s Rhetoric: Gen. Shekarchi

According to SAEDNEWS, On Tuesday, Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, Deputy for Cultural and Soft Warfare at Iran’s Armed Forces General Staff and the senior spokesperson for the armed forces, emphasized that the country’s powerful armed forces do not pay attention to the recent threats made by the US president against Iran.

Stressing Iran’s decisive response to any aggression, he stated that Trump knows if he attacks the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, not only will Iran cut off his hand, but the country’s powerful armed forces will set the world on fire, leaving no area safe.

Elsewhere in his remarks, General Shekarchi highlighted the role of businesspersons and traders in confronting the enemy, stating, “Enemies are waging psychological operations and cognitive warfare against Iran. They know that if any corner of Islamic Iran’s land is attacked, we will cut off their hands and legs before they can spread the invasion, as the brave Iranian armed forces proved during the 12-day war.”

He expressed his appreciation for the resistance of Iranian businesspersons against the enemy, stressing that not only did traders not side with the enemy, but they also dealt a heavy blow to Zionist and Israeli aggression.

General Shekarchi then pointed to the repeated failures of the United States, highlighting that the US has not succeeded since the first day of its hostility against the Iranian nation and has always failed.
