Iran’s Top Military Commander Warns U.S.: "We Will Not Back Down"
Tehran, Iran – In a bold and defiant statement, Major General Seyed Abdolrahim Mousavi, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran, has accused the United States of openly entering the war in the Middle East and warned of serious consequences. His remarks come amid heightened tensions between Iran, the U.S., and Israel following a series of airstrikes and military escalations in the region.
🇮🇷 Iran Accuses U.S. of War and Violation of Sovereignty
General Mousavi accused Washington of violating the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran by directly supporting the "savage and aggressive Zionist regime" of Israel and allegedly conducting operations on Iranian soil.
“The United States, in continuation of its comprehensive support for the savage and aggressive Zionist regime, has openly and directly entered into war by violating the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran and trespassing upon the sacred soil of our country,” Mousavi declared.
This statement indicates that Iran views recent U.S. actions as acts of war, suggesting the situation has escalated far beyond political and diplomatic disputes.
⚔️ Threat of Retaliation Against U.S. and Israel
General Mousavi issued a strong warning to both Israel and the United States, stating that Iran’s armed forces now have the green light to respond militarily against American interests.
“The criminal United States must understand that, in addition to punishing its illegitimate and aggressive offspring Israel, it has unleashed the hands of the warriors of Islam in Iran’s Armed Forces to take any action against its interests and military.”-Major General Seyed Abdolrahim Mousavi
This is one of the most direct threats issued by a top Iranian military official, signaling potential retaliatory strikes or asymmetric warfare tactics by Iranian forces or allied militias across the region.
🛑 “We Will Never Back Down”
The message concluded with a clear and uncompromising stance:
“We will never back down in this regard.”
This signals Iran’s readiness for confrontation, and its intention to defend its sovereignty and strategic interests even in the face of U.S. and Israeli military pressure.
🌍 Regional and Global Implications
These developments come at a time of high instability in the Middle East, with conflicts involving Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria intensifying. If Iran chooses to act on these threats, the world could witness a larger-scale regional war, possibly drawing in global powers.
International observers are now closely monitoring the situation for signs of escalation, especially any retaliatory moves by Iran or proxy groups aligned with Tehran.
