Iranian General Staff: Washington's Rhetoric Won't Alter Power Balance, Threatens Harsher Strikes

The General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces and Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters affirmed that "the U.S. President's speeches do not change power calculations." This statement was issued in response to the U.S. President's recent remarks before the United Nations General Assembly. The Iranian military leadership considered aggressive statements and repeated threats against Iran, alongside the exploitation of the UN platform to justify aggression, incite insecurity, and piracy, as not based on facts on the ground, but rather a tool for internal propaganda. The statement indicated that the repetition of such threats, amidst U.S. military attrition, does not signify strength, instead exposing Washington's strategic impotence. The leadership accused Washington of being a source of threat and instability in West Asia, noting its attempt to compensate for failures against Iran and in piracy operations by holding the global economy hostage. The statement emphasized that the U.S. President's speeches will not alter power calculations or compensate for the United States' declining standing in the new world order, including its failures against Iran and the Resistance Front. Concluding its statement, the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces and Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters warned that Iranian Armed Forces are prepared to deliver "harsher, more destructive, and harder to predict strikes" against those described as aggressors, specifically the leaders of the United States and Israel.
