Iran's General Staff and Khatam al-Anbia Central Command said the US president's
hostile remarks and repeated threats from the UN podium serve US domestic
political propaganda, defend aggression and create global insecurity and
"piracy". They said the comments are not grounded in battlefield reality and,
amid what they described as US military exhaustion, raising baseless accusations
and threats does not signal strength but "reflects a strategic dilemma". The
statement added the president's rhetoric will not change the balance of power or
compensate for US decline in the new world order or its failures against Iran
and the Axis of Resistance.
