The latest news on US-Iran tensions comes from Iran's armed forces, which warned Washington to stop pursuing dominance and aggressive policies toward Iran. Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, the armed forces spokesman, made the remarks in a statement on Sunday, according to Iranian state media. He said that if the United States wants to avoid further decline, it should refrain from such policies.
What the Iranian military said
Shekarchi said recent political and electoral developments in the United States reflect Washington's failures in its confrontation with Iran. He pointed to the alleged defeat of Republicans in the US midterm elections, which are held in the middle of a president's term. He argued that the changes in American politics were not simply routine internal ups and downs, but a sign of a larger reality.
He also said the United States and its allies should review their policies on Iran, because powers that oppose Iran will ultimately fail to reach their goals. Any power that stands against Iran, he warned, would eventually face decline and chaos.
Regional context and the Strait of Hormuz
His remarks come as US-Iran tensions continue and the security situation in the Middle East remains unpredictable because of an ongoing war in the region. The two countries have been at odds for decades, and any renewed confrontation is closely watched across the Gulf.
Separately, Iranian reporting carried a statement attributed to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Iran's ideological military force, that so-called bypass routes built in the Strait of Hormuz would be ended soon. The Strait of Hormuz is the narrow waterway through which a large share of the world's seaborne oil passes.
What happens next
No US response to the Iranian statement has been reported so far. The remarks are a warning rather than an announced new measure, and the situation between the two sides remains tense.
Aasan alfaaz mein
Iran ki musallah afwaj ke tarjuman Abolfazl Shekarchi ne itwaar ke roz kaha ke America balaadasti aur jaarhana policies chhod de. Unka kehna hai ke America ki haal ki siyasi aur intikhabi tabdeeliyan Iran ke khilaaf Washington ki nakamiyon ko zahir karti hain. Iran aur America ke darmiyan tanaao jaari hai aur Middle East ki jang ki wajah se khitte ki suraat-e-haal ghair yaqeeni hai. Aam shehri ke liye iska seedha asar abhi wazeh nahi, lekin Gulf mein tanaao se tel ki qeematon par asar ho sakta hai.
