Tehran: A fierce conflict is currently unfolding in West Asia between Iran on one side, and the US and Israel on the other. Amidst this, Iran has now issued a stern warning to US President Donald Trump. Mohsen Rezaei, the military advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, stated that the US has very little time left ( Time Left ) to extricate itself from this “quagmire.” He asserted that if the US attacks Iran’s infrastructure, the retaliatory response will no longer follow the principle of “an eye for an eye,” but rather that of “a head for an eye.” Rezaei’s warning came just one day after Trump’s announcement that the US would suspend its attacks on Iran’s energy facilities and power plants for the next five days.
The US Has Little Time Left
Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei’s military advisor warned that the US has little time remaining to “save itself from its quagmire.” He declared, “If you attack our infrastructure, it will not be an eye for an eye; it will be a head for an eye—you will be crippled.” The top Iranian official went on to warn Washington that Tehran would “paralyze you and sink you in the Gulf.”
Trump Attempting to Create a Diversion
He also took a jibe at Trump’s decision to announce a five-day suspension of attacks on Iran’s energy plants. Labeling this as Trump’s “psychological warfare strategy,” Rezaei asserted that such contradictory maneuvers would not succeed in diverting Iran’s attention from the war front. **Demand for Compensation from the U.S.**
In a statement given to IRNA, Rezaei also demanded compensation from the United States for the damages incurred amidst the ongoing conflict. He stated, “The war will continue until full compensation for the damages is received, all economic sanctions are lifted, and a guarantee is secured from the United States that it will not interfere in Iranian affairs. This is the decision of our country, our Leader, and our Armed Forces.”
**Iran Sets Three Major Conditions**
Full compensation must be provided for the damages sustained during the conflict.
All economic sanctions imposed on Iran must be lifted immediately.
A guarantee must be provided against any future interference in Iran’s internal affairs.
**Neighboring Nation Seeks to Act as Peace Envoy**
Meanwhile, amidst the prevailing tensions in the Middle East, Pakistan has offered to play the role of a peace envoy. On the social media platform X, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif extended an invitation to both the United States and Iran to hold talks in Islamabad. Earlier yesterday, Donald Trump had claimed to have held “positive discussions” with the Iranian leadership; however, Tehran categorically rejected this claim. Dismissing Trump’s assertions as “fake news,” Iran stated that this was merely a ploy intended to influence the market.
