According to a source news agency, a senior Iranian security official has stated that if the United States fails in a military war, it will also fail economically. The remarks came as tensions between Tehran and Washington show no sign of easing.
The Iranian official argued that military power cannot be separated from an economic foundation, and that any defeat on the battlefield would bring serious consequences for America's finances, trade, and global standing.
The statement is seen as a tough message pushing back against the pressure measures Washington is imposing on Iran, while affirming Tehran's position in the face of potential conflict risks.
There has been no official response from the US side to the remarks so far. Tensions between Iran and the United States have lasted for years, tied to the nuclear program, sanctions, and Tehran's regional influence.
