Mohsen Rezaei, a senior military advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, said in a statement that President Trump 'imagines bombs can extract him from the mud he created, but Iranian missiles will sink him deeper.' The threat was posted on Telegram and comes amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran. Rezaei demanded that Washington choose between accepting Iran's terms or losing the last remnants of its global credibility.
Mohsen Rezaei, the senior military advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, published a statement on Telegram at 13:36 Jerusalem time that directly threatens the Trump administration with military escalation. 'The reckless American president imagines bombs can extract him from the mud he himself created,' Rezaei wrote. 'But Iranian missiles will sink him deeper in it.' He framed the choice for Washington as either accepting Iran's conditions or losing its remaining credibility worldwide.
Rezaei is a former IRGC commander-in-chief and remains a key architect of Iran's regional strategy. His statements often reflect the regime's hardened posture toward the United States and Israel. As The Zioneer previously reported, Rezaei has in recent weeks threatened to extend conflict to the Indian Ocean and claimed that Iranian threats forced an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon — both statements from early to mid-June.
The current threat comes at a time of heightened U.S.-Iran tensions, with American military activity in the Persian Gulf and reports of stalled nuclear talks. The statement is a single-source claim published via the source; its timing as a direct response to any specific U.S. action is not verified in the available intake. No official U.S. or Israeli response has been reported on this latest message.
