Iranian lawmaker says Trump issuing threats because US 'gained nothing' from war
The head of Iran's National Security Commission, Ebrahim Azizi, accused U.S. President Donald Trump of resorting to threats because Washington had failed to achieve its objectives during the recent conflict with Iran.
In an interview, Azizi said the United States emerged from the 40-day war without meaningful gains despite incurring significant costs.
“Of course, it is natural for the US President to make such remarks because he has gained nothing,” Azizi said. “He did not achieve anything in the 40-day war, nor in these times. Now, because he has an empty track record and empty hands, and has incurred very heavy costs in this war that have brought no gains for the Americans, while also causing numerous economic problems for the world and the Americans, he is forced to make these threats.”
His comments came amid continued tensions between Tehran and Washington despite ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at securing a broader agreement following the conflict.
Azizi warned that any future military action against Iran would be met with a stronger response from Tehran.
“However, he should know that this is Iran. This is a united front with a firm ideology based on the principles and ideals of Islam,” he said.
“Just as our nation and our armed forces stood united during the Ramadan war, should he take any uncalculated action, he will definitely receive a more regretful, more painful, and undoubtedly more decisive response.”
The remarks follow recent warnings from Trump, who has suggested that further military action against Iran remains an option if negotiations fail or if Tehran resumes activities Washington views as threatening regional security.
