Top military spokesperson Lt. Col. Ebrahim Zolfaghari criticized any talk of a deal between Washington and Tehran, warning “Someone like us will never come to terms with someone like you,” according to a video shared by the state-run Fars News Agency.
Zolfaghari didn’t refer to the US by name, but essentially branded Operation Epic Fury a “defeat” and accused Washington of making empty promises.
“The strategic power you used to talk about has turned into a strategic failure,” he said.
“The one claiming to be a global superpower would have already gotten out of this mess if it could. Don’t dress up your defeat as an agreement. Your era of empty promises has come to an end.
“Have your internal conflicts reached the point where you are negotiating with yourselves?”
Fox News’ Sean Hannity asked DeSantis about his plans for 2028 during a recent interview. “Will you run for president again?” he asked.
“We'll see,” DeSantis said. “I mean…in 24, like in Iowa, the people that voted for Trump, if he wasn't running, I would have gotten like 90 percent of those. Those people, they were conservative voters. They didn't want the non conservative…they wanted me. And so, but the timing didn't work out, obviously, for that, so you just got to see what happens.”
