“Enemies of the Islamic Revolution in recent years have explicitly acknowledged its glory and might, and we advise the American politicians to consider threatening Iran as useless,” Major General Jafari said on Wednesday, in an address to a cultural event in Iran’s western city of Hamedan.
He then made a reference to American analyses that highlight the “considerable risks” of an encounter with Iran, saying some have even advised Donald Trump to be mindful that Iran is in a position that sees the US as a “paper tiger”, Tasnim reported.
Some other analysts also believe that the US must put aside the notion of being even a half-superpower in the world, the commander added.
