TheWkly Analysis

A senior military adviser to Iran’s Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei insulted US President Donald Trump on state television on Wednesday. Yahya Rahim Safavi called Trump “the most corrupt and stupid American president” and “Satan himself.” He reiterated longstanding threats to eradicate Israel. Safavi stated that “in the Middle East region, Israel and Iran cannot be together. One of them must remain. The one that remains is Iran and the one that is destroyed is definitely the Zionist regime.” These remarks come as Iran, Israel, and the United States are engaged in a war engulfing the Middle East, with Israel and the US fighting alongside each other against the Islamic republic.
