Iran\u2019s security chief says US President Donald Trump has inflicted a heavy loss on his country by launching a war with Iran that was only the result of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s warmongering tactics. In a post on his X account on Wednesday, Ali Larijani, who serves as secretary of Iran\u2019s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), said that the United States had lost some 500 soldiers since it joined Israel in a war on Iran on February 28. Larijani said that the heavy loss has exposed Trump\u2019s deceitful mantra of putting America First. \u201cMr. Trump, swayed by Netanyahu’s clownish antics, has dragged the American people into an unjust war with Iran. Now he must calculate: with over 500 American soldiers killed in just the past few days, does America still come first\u2014or Israel?\u201d he said in the post. The SNSC chief said that Iran will continue to inflict losses on the enemies as part of its large-scale operation to avenge the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, which took place in a joint US-Israeli airstrike on Saturday. \u201cThe story continues. The martyrdom of Imam Khamenei will exact a heavy price from you. God willing,\u201d Larijani said. Iran has been carrying out successive rounds of retaliatory attacks on the Israeli regime and on US assets in regional countries since the weekend. The attacks have resulted in unprecedented damage to locations in the Israeli-occupied territories as well as US military bases in several countries bordering or near Iran. Iranian authorities have made it clear that the attacks will continue until the aggressors are punished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
