Qalibaf Criticizes Trump Over Iranian Leaders
The article discusses the escalation of military and political tensions between the United States and Iran, focusing on statements by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding increasing pressure on Tehran. Trump acknowledged that Washington had overstepped in targeting Iranian leaders and expressed uncertainty about who could be negotiated with following the killing of senior officials. Meanwhile, attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz continue, and the Trump administration is considering options to resume broad strikes against Iranian targets, including energy facilities and nuclear sites, with the possibility of using the "Mother of All Bombs." Trump emphasized that Iran has lost most of its naval and air military capabilities and asserted that it will never acquire a nuclear weapon, mentioning that some Iranian parties are interested in negotiations. The maritime clashes in the Strait of Hormuz are intensifying, with more than ten ships attacked since early October, amidst a lack of international consensus on the future of navigation and Iranian threats to block the strait. Iran reiterated its control over the passage, stating that sanctions and economic pressures will not force it to submit, while attacks on commercial ships have surged to unprecedented levels. The ongoing conflict, which has been unfolding since 2026, centers around military escalation, economic pressures, and reciprocal accusations, amid warnings about potential repercussions on global oil and energy markets. There is also concern that the situation could lead to a food crisis due to disruptions in fertilizer shipments, reflecting the continuing escalation across various levels of confrontation.
