After ‘you’re fired’ jibe, now Iran military mocks Trump on talks push; ‘negotiating with himself…’

Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has issued a defiant new statement rejecting any suggestion that the U.S. has escaped the current crisis, saying Washington’s claimed strategic power has turned into “strategic failure.” The message also dismissed any U.S. attempt to frame the situation as an agreement and signalled that Iran does not believe regional conditions, energy markets, or investment flows will return to normal soon. The statement’s core message is that Iran sees stability in the region as something that will now be imposed through military strength, not diplomacy on U.S. terms. It also makes clear that Tehran is rejecting coexistence or compromise with Washington in the current confrontation, using highly ideological language about a global divide between “right and wrong.”
