Trump destroys US diplomacy and global trust in America

Trump's threats to bomb Oman and pressure NATO allies have shattered US diplomacy and global trust, writes columnist Khalil Shojaei.

🔹Major General Amir Hatami stated that despite its failures, the enemy continues to plot new threats against Iran.

🔹"We monitor the enemy's short, medium, and long-term objectives and are ready to counter any scenario," he said.

🔹"Iran is not a testing ground for their plots and adventurism. We will fight for 10, 20 generations and will not allow harm to come to Iran."

Gharibabadi: US 'biggest financial attack' is admission of defeat, not victory

🔹Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi responded to US Treasury Secretary Bessent's claims of victory, stating: "Claiming victory while needing the 'biggest financial attack in history' doesn't add up—this is an admission of defeat, not victory."

🔹Gharibabadi noted the contradiction: the US claims Iran's military power has been "dismantled," its defense industry "100% destroyed," and its nuclear program "buried"—yet still requires mobilizing "all institutions and authorities" for this massive financial assault.

🔹"Is this victory or an admission of America's failure?" he asked.

Trump turns to smoke and mirrors

The deception comes as Washington's war drains US arsenals, depleting nearly two-thirds of Patriot interceptors. Trump’s absurd claim that Hormuz is “US territory” only deepens the disconnect.
