KABUL: An Iranian military spokesperson has accused U.S. President Donald Trump of lacking “intellectual and rhetorical stability,” saying he cannot be trusted under any circumstances.
Ebrahim Zolfaqari, spokesman for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, criticized U.S. leadership for entrusting command of its armed forces to what he described as an “unbalanced” figure whose decisions risk dragging the military into dangerous conflicts.
He also claimed that U.S. forces in the region are retreating from targeted bases and seeking shelter in civilian and economic facilities across regional countries.
Referring to recent threats of possible ground operations by the United States in Iran, the Iranian official warned that any such move would be met with a strong military response.
The remarks come amid rising tensions following reports by U.S. media about potential troop deployments to the region.
