Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, senior spokesman for the Iranian Armed Forces, responding to the recent statements of U.S. President Donald Trump, described Trump’s remarks as “baseless, boastful, and delusional,” warning of severe consequences for any aggression against Iran.

In his remarks on Thursday, Shekarchi cautioned the U.S. administration against “unwise actions,” stating they could “ignite a widespread fire in West Asia,” and provoke a response from Iran’s Armed Forces, “you have never experienced before in your history.”
Shekarchi emphasized that Iranian forces remain on high alert and are closely monitoring all military movements by the United States and its regional allies, including Israel.
In response to repeated threats from Trump, the spokesman described the rhetoric as empty posturing and fantasy.
“The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, relying on their defensive and offensive capabilities and the support of the country’s brave, united, and resilient people, are monitoring all movements of the U.S. army and the Zionist regime in the region with great care and full readiness,” he stated.
He called the U.S. military presence in West Asia “psychological warfare, blackmail, and bullying.”
Shekarchi said that if U.S. officials were “wise and rational” and fully understood Iran’s “true military capabilities,” they would avoid talk of war.
He cautioned that any provocative action by American forces or affiliated terrorist groups would trigger a “decisive response and crushing blows from the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
The spokesman further warned that, in the event of aggression, “American soldiers and their equipment will be destroyed, and all U.S. resources and interests in the region will be within the firing range of Iranian forces.”
“We have proven that we are not warmongers, but we are not afraid of war, and we will strongly defend the country and the interests of the dear Iranian nation,” he added.
