The Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces and Commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has issued a direct warning to the leaders of the United States and the Israeli regime.
In a message issued Sunday, Major General Ali Abdollahi said Iran is counting the moments until their next foolish decision and that any further miscalculation will be met with a response far more severe, distinct, and devastating than in the past.
Abdollahi addressed Washington and Tel Aviv, noting that they have repeatedly tested the resolve and determination of the leadership, the nation, the officials, and the powerful Armed Forces of Islamic Iran.
“Testing what has already been tested is a mistake,” he stressed. “We are counting the moments until your foolish decisions.”
“If you were capable of acting upon the slogans you proclaim, you would have done so by now. In previous conflicts, you entered the fray with the stated goal of toppling the Islamic Republic, partitioning Iran, and destroying the country; yet today, it is you who are facing collapse and downfall, while a powerful Iran remains standing firm,” the top commander said.
Abdollahi added that US president Donald Trump has grown old and lacks the strength even to stand up.
“Both American society and the inhabitants of the occupied territories are well aware that you suffer from serious, fundamental weaknesses. You must realize that any further miscalculation will be met with a response far more severe and distinct than anything seen in the past,” he said.
Reiterating the point, Major General Abdollahi said the adversaries have repeatedly tested the resolve of Iran’s leadership, people, officials, and Armed Forces, and that repeating a test whose outcome is already known is a mistake. “We are counting the moments until your foolish decisions.”
He concluded with a clear signal of readiness: “The next roar will be much closer, far more devastating, and impossible to intercept.”
The warning comes amid ongoing tensions following the US-Israeli-imposed wars of aggression against the Islamic Republic, including the 12-day war and the subsequent aggression that began with the martyrdom of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution.
In those offensives, the enemies advanced under slogans of regime change and partition, only to face powerful, precise responses from Iran’s Armed Forces through operations such as True Promise, which struck strategic targets across the occupied territories and US military assets in the region.
Iran’s highest operational command has consistently affirmed full readiness, intelligence dominance, and the unwavering determination of the nation and Armed Forces to deliver decisive, regret-inducing blows against any renewed aggression.
The statement underscores that the strategic balance has shifted, that further adventurism by the aggressors will only accelerate their own decline, and that a resilient, powerful Iran stands firm.
