TEHRAN (Defapress) - Referring to recent developments in the region, Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, considered the policies of the former US president to be the cause of chaos and instability, and said: Trump has caused tension in the region with his 'false wishes' and is now expressing concern about the increase in casualties among American troops.

He added: Trump's delusional actions have caused the slogan 'America First' to turn into 'Israel First' in practice and put American soldiers on the path of Israel's power-seeking.
The Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council also pointed out what he called Trump's new lies and stated: These approaches have once again imposed political and security costs on American soldiers and their families.
Larijani concluded by emphasizing: "Today, the Iranian nation is defending itself, and the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have not initiated any aggression."
