Any new war against Iran would engulf everyone in its flames. US military presence in the region is the main source of insecurity and economic problems.
Abdollahi issues regional warning
Major General Ali Abdollahi warned that if a new war is launched against Iran, its flames will engulf everyone, in a message issued on Monday. Abdollahi said reports and information indicated that the United States and Israel are again seeking to launch a new war against Iran by using what he described as the “big lie” that Tehran is pursuing nuclear weapons and by portraying Iran as being in a weakened position.
“If a new war is launched against Iran, its flames will engulf everyone.”
Abdollahi cautioned that any new war against Iran would have repercussions across the region, saying, “Be aware that if a new war against Iran is initiated, its flames will engulf everyone.” Abdollahi also warned that countries hosting US forces in the region face insecurity and economic problems as long as the American military remains in the region, and he framed the continued presence of American troops as the main source of insecurity and economic problems across the region.
Targets and election message
Abdollahi addressed US President Donald Trump and said Iran was not waiting for the outcome of the US congressional elections. Abdollahi warned that regardless of the election results and whether before or after the vote, if the United States or Israel prompted Washington to take action against Iran, the Iranian armed forces would immediately target U.S. interests “with intensity and force and in a painful manner,” without limitation.
Abdollahi said the Israeli regime had launched the 12-day war and the Ramadan war against Iran based on a miscalculation and the belief that it was confronting a weakened Iran. Abdollahi said that after several days of fighting, the regime sought an end to the war due to what he described as the powerful and heavy blows inflicted by Iran’s armed forces.
Nuclear claims and IAEA
Abdollahi rejected remarks by Israeli leadership that Iran’s nuclear program had entered a military phase, describing them as intended to create fear and portray Iran as a threat. Abdollahi said claims that Iran’s nuclear program had entered an advanced stage were unacceptable when made by what he described as a regime possessing hundreds of nuclear warheads, and he said such statements amounted to making a mockery of international law.
“If a new war is launched against Iran, its flames will engulf everyone.”
Abdollahi warned international organizations, particularly the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), against what he called continuing to “play the wolf in sheep’s clothing” and urged the agency to refrain from making what he described as baseless statements about Iran’s nuclear facilities. Abdollahi said Iran was stronger than ever and fully prepared to confront any threat, regardless of its type or level, adding that the country remained confident in divine assistance.
