Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani has responded sharply to comments made by former US President Donald Trump, saying that starting a war may be easy, but winning one cannot be done with a few tweets.
Larijani made the remarks on X, emphasizing that military conflict requires strategy, preparation, and careful planning, not just social media statements.
The comments came after Trump suggested that the United States could achieve a quick victory in the ongoing conflict. Larijani rejected this notion, warning that Iran would not back down and would maintain its position.
He described any assumptions of a swift American victory as a serious miscalculation. His statement signals that Tehran is prepared to continue its stance in the face of pressure from Washington.
Analysts note that such statements from top Iranian officials often serve as both a warning and a message to domestic and international audiences that Iran remains firm in its policies.
The broader regional situation is also tense, with concerns about potential escalation. Larijani’s response indicates that Tehran is closely monitoring US rhetoric and is committed to defending its interests.
Observers believe that this exchange of statements adds to uncertainty in diplomatic efforts, making the need for careful dialogue between the United States and Iran more important than ever.
Larijani’s message underscores that conflict management goes beyond words online and requires careful strategic thinking.
