Major General Mohsen Rezaei, military adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader and member of the Expediency Discernment Council, stated that the United States “will not return to what it once was” after the “Ramadan War,” asserting that Iran has drawn “the path for its decline in the Middle East.”

Rezaei added that “our fighters today keep their hands on the trigger, while at the same time our negotiators continue their efforts to restore the rights of the Iranian people,” emphasizing that the conflict is currently being managed on both the military and diplomatic fronts.

He explained that “alongside these two clear arenas, our people are present in the field as a complementary element,” stressing that “economic jihad, cultural defense, and other forms of struggle are continuing in parallel with this major confrontation.”

Rezaei further argued that “for the first time since World War II, the American superpower is facing a new collapse.”

Earlier on Sunday, the commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Major General Ali Abdollahi, stated that the Iranian armed forces, backed by public support, possess significant combat capabilities in any conflict against their adversaries.
