‘Surrender? In Your Dream!’: Iran Mocks Trump Attack Threat, Vows Devastating Revenge
Iran has issued a fresh warning to the United States after President Donald Trump suggested that Washington could launch another round of military strikes against Iranian infrastructure. Iranian Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi said Tehran has already demonstrated its ability to respond to American pressure and would not retreat in the face of renewed threats. His remarks, carried by Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency, came amid heightened tensions following missile exchanges in the Gulf and the reported downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian also rejected the idea that military pressure could force Tehran into submission. Addressing an audience in Tehran, he argued that sustained bombardment had failed to break resistance elsewhere in the region and insisted that Iran would not surrender under threat. The statements followed comments by President Trump indicating that he was moving closer to authorizing strikes targeting Iranian power plants and bridges if Tehran failed to comply with U.S. demands.
