Ali Larijani has issued a sharp critique of US President Donald Trump's Middle East policy, accusing the administration of destabilizing the region.
The Operative Information Center-OMM reports that the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council stated on his social media account that "Trump has dragged the region into chaos with empty hopes and now fears further casualties among American troops." Larijani further asserted that the president has effectively transformed the "America First" political slogan into "Israel First," claiming that the United States is losing military personnel to satisfy the interests of the Jewish state.
The remarks follow recent statements by US President Donald Trump, who suggested that the United States could face additional losses before military operations against Iranian-backed threats are concluded. This exchange highlights the ongoing high-stakes tension between Washington and Tehran, which has seen a significant escalation in recent years due to conflicting regional interests, economic sanctions, and military posturing in the Persian Gulf and Levant.
