'Collapse and Disintegration': Iranian Armed Forces Issue Stern Warning to US
Iran's military warns the US that aggression and hegemonic policies will lead to collapse and disintegration, citing Washington's strategic failures.
The Iranian Armed Forces have issued a blistering warning to the United States, cautioning Washington against continuing its hegemonic and hostile policies toward the Islamic Republic. In a strongly worded statement, Tehran asserted that any global power attempting to stand against Iran would eventually face total "collapse and disintegration."
Failure of 'Maximum Pressure'
Brigadier General Shekarchi, the spokesperson for Iran's Armed Forces, claimed that the United States' strategies of aggression, terrorism, and "maximum pressure" have utterly failed to achieve their intended goals. According to the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), Shekarchi attributed this failure to the combined strength of Iran's leadership, its citizens, and its military forces.
The General argued that the "iron will" and deterrent capabilities of the Islamic Republic have rendered Washington's military strategies ineffective, a fact he claims is evident to any impartial analyst observing the current geopolitical landscape.
Critique of US Domestic and Foreign Policy
Shekarchi linked the perceived failures of the US administration to internal political shifts. He specifically pointed to political and electoral developments within the United States—referencing losses suffered by Republicans—as a reflection of Washington's broader inability to confront Iran effectively amid the ongoing conflicts in West Asia.
The spokesperson further alleged that the foundations of the White House's "hollow power" have been shaken. He cited a combination of factors, including:
- Successive setbacks in West Asia and other global regions.
- The collapse of the aggressor's military equipment and fleet.
- A general stalemate regarding the threats issued by the US.
Targeting the Trump Administration
The Iranian military spokesperson did not mince words when addressing President Donald Trump and his associates. Shekarchi accused the US leadership of entering the confrontation with the explicit goal of destroying the Islamic Republic.
"Trump and his foolish, extremist, and terrorist associates had entered the field proudly and civilised to destroy Iran, but in a reverse turn, they themselves became victims of strategic erosion, deep internal crises, and defeats imposed by the proud armed forces of Iran and the axis of resistance," Shekarchi stated.
A Shift in Global Power Dynamics
Describing these events as evidence of a changing world order, the spokesperson asserted that the era where major powers could unilaterally impose their will on resisting nations is ending. He claimed that the strategic failure of the US is "living proof" that global power equations no longer favour hegemons.
Concluding his warning, Shekarchi emphasized that the Islamic Republic remains a "steadfast rock." He warned that any power lining up against the "divine and steely will" of Iran would find no end other than political and strategic ruin in the eyes of global public opinion.
