Iran\u2019s military command issued a sharp rebuke to its adversaries, declaring their claimed \u201cstrategic strength\u201d has turned into a defeat and firmly ruling out any agreement under current conditions.In a newly released video statement, Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for Iran\u2019s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said that the balance of power has shifted decisively against those attacking the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n<p>Zolfaghari stated that the \u201cstrategic power\u201d often boasted by Iran\u2019s enemies has effectively collapsed, describing the current situation as a clear failure for those who claim global dominance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who claim to be the world\u2019s superpower, if they were capable of exiting this predicament, they would have done so by now,\u201d he said in reference to the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the Iranian official dismissed any attempt to frame defeat as an agreement, warning adversaries against rebranding setbacks as diplomacy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo not call your defeat an agreement,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cThe time of your promises has ended.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zolfaghari added that internal divisions among Iran\u2019s adversaries have reached a point where they are \u201cnegotiating with yourselves,&#8221; a reference to growing disagreements within Western and &#8220;Israeli&#8221; political and military circles over the trajectory of the confrontation.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s military also warned that energy markets will remain disrupted and pre\u2011war oil prices won\u2019t return unless foreign powers accept Tehran\u2019s role in regional stability, using that leverage to blunt adversaries\u2019 influence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou will not see investment in this region, nor previous energy and oil prices, until you realize that stability here is guaranteed by the Iranian Armed Forces,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Concluding his remarks, Zolfaghari stressed that a return to previous geopolitical conditions remains contingent solely on Iran\u2019s will and on a fundamental shift in the thinking of its adversaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe declare clearly that things will not return to what they were except by our will, when the very idea of acting against the Iranian people is erased from your minds,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Zolfaghari&#8217;s statement comes amid US-based reports that US President Donald Trump has proposed a deal to end the war in the region, instigated by the US-&#8220;Israeli&#8221; authorities.&#13;\n  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Islam Times &#8211; Iran\u2019s military command issued a sharp rebuke to its adversaries, declaring their claimed \u201cstrategic strength\u201d&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35326,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[605,15853,8646,592,15861,15855,11366,12231,10700,15854,15858,15859,3888,3854,34,4093,598,15850,7223,179,15848,5420,15852,15847,15860,15851,10721,15856,10383,69,11290,599,603,15857,12321,153,3892,15849],"class_list":{"0":"post-35325","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tehran","8":"tag-a","9":"tag-adversaries","10":"tag-agreement","11":"tag-and","12":"tag-any","13":"tag-claimed","14":"tag-command","15":"tag-conditions","16":"tag-current","17":"tag-declaring","18":"tag-defeat","19":"tag-firmly","20":"tag-has","21":"tag-into","22":"tag-iran","23":"tag-irans","24":"tag-islam","25":"tag-issued","26":"tag-its","27":"tag-military","28":"tag-negotiating","29":"tag-out","30":"tag-rebuke","31":"tag-ridicules","32":"tag-ruling","33":"tag-sharp","34":"tag-strategic","35":"tag-strength","36":"tag-talks","37":"tag-tehran","38":"tag-their","39":"tag-times","40":"tag-to","41":"tag-turned","42":"tag-under","43":"tag-us","44":"tag-with","45":"tag-yourselves"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116289452367366367","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35325"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35325\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
