IRGC adviser Mohammad Reza Naqdi dismisses Donald Trump as “short-sighted” and “childlike,” claiming the U.S. president’s statements have weakened American power. He argues that Washington failed in what he describes as its two original war aims—toppling Iran’s leadership and partitioning the country—and therefore cannot credibly claim victory.
