General Majid Mousavi, the Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force, has stated that the American leadership is immersed in "Hollywood fantasies."
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, Mousavi made these remarks while responding to threats from US President Donald Trump regarding returning Iran to the "Stone Age."
The military commander wrote on X: "You will not return Iran to the Stone Age, but you will send your soldiers under tombstones. Hollywood fantasies have distorted your mindset so much that you threaten a civilization with more than 6,000 years of history with your modest 250-year history."
This exchange highlights the escalating rhetorical tensions between Washington and Tehran. US President Donald Trump has frequently utilized a policy of maximum pressure and deterrent rhetoric regarding regional security issues. In response, Iranian military officials often emphasize their historical longevity and asymmetric warfare capabilities as a counter-narrative to American technological and military superiority. Such statements are typical of the ongoing geopolitical friction in the Middle East, where both nations vie for influence and security dominance.
