A senior Iranian commander has criticized the US military, stating that "coffins have become part of the equipment" of these forces. The remark comes amid escalating tensions between Tehran and Washington over military operations in the Middle East.
According to this commander, the casualties suffered by US forces in recent times have made preparing coffins an indispensable part of their logistics. He emphasized that this reflects the reality that US military campaigns are facing significant difficulties and heavy losses.
The statement immediately drew attention from international observers, as it came amid already strained US-Iran relations. Many experts believe the comment carries a propaganda element, aimed at boosting morale among Iranian forces and demonstrating a tough stance toward Washington.
The US has not yet issued an official response to the statement. However, the move is likely to further intensify the already complex tensions between the two nations, particularly over issues related to the nuclear program and influence in the Middle East.
