“We never equate protesters with foreign mercenaries, and we embrace our own children,” Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf said in an X post on Friday.
In reaction to Trump’s remarks, Ghalibaf wrote, “The devil is shouting” because the armed field agents of foreign spying services failed in their attempt to turn the rightful protests of people and guilds into violent and armed urban battles, thanks to the historical insight of the Iranian nation.
He added that throughout history, the Iranian nation has disappointed enemies far more experienced than these.
Referring to Trump’s recent threats, Ghalibaf wrote that the “disrespectful” president of the United States “should also know that with this official confession, all American centers and forces across the region become legitimate targets for us in response to any possible adventurism.”
“Be certain that Iranians stand united and determined to act against any foreign enemy.”
