Iran's Envoy to Moscow Highlights Low Morale, Suicides Among US Troops

Iranian Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali has highlighted the deteriorating conditions among US military forces, citing low morale, suicides, and even deaths in brawls. In an interview with Russia's RIA Novosti news agency, Jalali described the state of morale among US troops as "deplorable."

According to Jalali, the infrastructure, nutrition, supplies, and morale of US forces are in such a dire state that, in addition to suicides, a number of personnel have also lost their lives in mass clashes. He noted that while the Pentagon and US officials do not confirm these reports, there is no doubt about the inadequate state of equipment and forces.

The ambassador attributed this situation to what he called "miscalculations and strategic miscalculations" by US officials regarding the resistance potential of the Iranian people. His remarks come amid ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States, with Iran's resistance narrative being a key theme in official discourse.

Jalali's comments were reported by Mehr News Agency, which cited the interview with RIA Novosti. The Iranian envoy's statements reflect Tehran's perspective on US military readiness and morale, particularly in the context of potential confrontations with Iran.
