Iran's supreme leader adviser says Trump and Netanyahu threats betray desperation

Summary

Mohammed Mokhber, an adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, says that "psychological warfare" and threats of war by US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "betray desperation than power." In a post on X, Mokhber said Iran is aware of the enemy's vulnerabilities and that surprise moves on the battlefield, along with its leverage in the oil and energy sectors, can shift the balance of power. He also said the nation that remains in the region is the one that has lived there for thousands of years, and that the Zionist regime can merely think about its own "non-existence."
