IRGC spokesman says Israel, not Americans, is US government priority

Brig. Gen. Hossein Mohebbi, spokesman for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said the United States government places the Israeli regime ahead of the American people, according to a report by Mehr News Agency.

Speaking about the large budget allocated by the United States to its military, Mohebbi stated that the US military does not have the ability to fight countries whose defense budgets amount to only 10 percent of the Pentagon's military spending. He presented this as an indication of the limits of US military power despite its scale.

The IRGC spokesman emphasized that the Israeli regime, rather than the American people, is the priority for the US government. He referred to past promises by US President Donald Trump that America would come first, and said that today Israel comes first for the United States.

Mohebbi's remarks were reported by Mehr News Agency (MNA). The statement reflects the IRGC's public position on US policy in the region and its characterization of Washington's priorities. No further details or responses from US officials were included in the report.
