A spokesman for Iran's Armed Forces, Abolfazl Shekarchi, issued a message responding to remarks by US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to Mehr News. In the message, Shekarchi said the two leaders are on a downward slope toward collapse and that no amount of bluster or threats will allow them to escape what he described as the quagmire of death in which they are trapped. He referred to Trump and Netanyahu as the child-killing twins.
The statement is the latest in a series of public comments by Iranian military officials directed at the United States and Israel. On October 12, Shekarchi issued a stark warning to the country's enemies, stressing that Iran's powerful Armed Forces will not allow an enemy regional order to be re-established in West Asia.
The remarks come amid ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States and Israel. Iranian officials have repeatedly criticized US and Israeli policies in the region, while Washington and Tel Aviv have accused Iran of destabilizing activities. The exchange of statements has continued without a reported change in the underlying positions of the parties involved.
Shekarchi's message did not provide further details on specific military measures or timelines. It was framed as a response to the rhetoric of the US and Israeli leaders rather than an announcement of new action.
According to Mehr News, the spokesman's comments were carried in a message reacting to the rhetoric of Trump and Netanyahu, and the report added that Shekarchi had previously warned on October 12 that Iran's Armed Forces would not permit an enemy regional order to be re-established in West Asia.
