Top general warns Iran to give ‘lesson’ to Trump if war breaks out
Mousavi made the remarks in reaction to Trump’s rhetoric about possible strikes on Iran if no deal is reached during nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington.
The general said remarks of the US president, who claims to lead a superpower, were not befitting of a person in such a capacity, ISNA reported.
“If Trump truly intends to wage war, why is he speaking of negotiations?” Mousavi asked.
“Trump should know that he is walking into a battle, the outcome of which will prevent him from saber-rattling in the world ever again.”
On February 6, Iran and the US held a fresh round of negotiations to resolve a longstanding dispute over Iran’s nuclear program. A second meeting is due for Tuesday in Geneva, Switzerland.
The US has deployed several aircraft carriers and warships to the Persian Gulf to force Iran into making big concessions for a deal.
Iranian officials have reiterated that they will not give in to excessive demands but are ready to strike a fair deal with the US.
Iran’s military officials have also warned that the country is fully prepared to decisively respond to any hostile action.
