Chairman of the Islamic Republic of Iran's National Security Council, Larijani, said today: "Mr. Trump, under Netanyahu's farcical performance, dragged the American people into an unfair war with Iran. Now let him calculate carefully: more than 500 U.S. soldiers have died in the past few days, is this 'America First' or 'Israel First'? This farce continues. The martyrdom of Khamenei will surely cost you a heavy price. May God protect."
Comment: Hundreds of U.S. soldiers have been killed, not to defend America, but to be pawns for Israel's political ambitions. The so-called national security and just cause are all lies that cover self-interest. Dragging other countries into wars and pushing soldiers to death, just to shift domestic failures and consolidate power for a few politicians.
Iran faces the world's most powerful military machine, the most stringent sanctions network, and the most monopolized media discourse, yet it can only resist alone in the encirclement. It is clearly defending its homeland and sovereignty, yet it is labeled with various tags; it is clearly a victim, yet it bears the heaviest blows.
