🚨 ‘America is trapped in the quagmire of its wrong calculations’ — Security Council Secretary Larijani

Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani commented on the US-Israeli aggression against Iran and the regional situation, IRNA reported.

Key points from his remarks:

◻️ Trump “threatened parts of the Iranian people today because no matter how much he tried, the people did not respond to him.”

◻️ “The people of Iran are united for Iran.”

◻️ The enemy’s goal from the start of the war was not a limited change, but Iran itself — its division and disintegration.

◻️ Trump and his allies thought they could apply a “Venezuela plan” in Iran, but “America is trapped in the quagmire of its wrong calculations.”

◻️ Iran does not welcome an expansion of the war, but if Europeans intervene, it will respond accordingly.

◻️ Larijani said Iran will “punish Trump for the assassination of the Leader of the Revolution, Khamenei, and we will never let him go.”

◻️ He said it would be better for Trump to “admit that he made a mistake and was deceived by Israel.”

◻️ Iran has no issue with Azerbaijan, but if any plot or flights against Iran originate from its territory, it will respond.

◻️ Regional countries now understand that the United States cannot ensure stability and know that Iran did not target them.

◻️ He also said attempts were made to incite ethnic groups against the government, adding that “Kurds are an authentic Iranian people” who know what happened to Kurds in Syria.

◻️ Larijani added that despite daily gasoline consumption reaching 190 million liters, fuel and essential goods have continued to be supplied without interruption.
