Tehran: Manouchehr Mottaki, former Iranian foreign minister and Member of Parliament representing Tehran, has addressed the American people, saying: "Thousands of American troops stationed at military bases in the Persian Gulf states, Jordan, and Iraq are currently within range of Iranian missiles. I advise you to bring them home today, so that tomorrow you will not be deprived of the chance to mourn your sons."

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Mottaki emphasized the repercussions of U.S. military actions in the region during an interview. He criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump and the American military, accusing them of instigating two wars that resulted in the deaths of over 1,000 Iranians. Mottaki highlighted the Iranian nation's mourning for its martyred leader and citizens.

The former foreign minister also remarked on the ongoing nightly gatherings across Iran, where citizens demand retribution against what he termed "American-Zionist terrorists." These gatherings, which have persisted for 140 nights, reflect the public's anger and call for military retaliation.

Mottaki reiterated the vulnerability of U.S. troops, stating they are within striking distance of Iranian missiles. He warned of potential strikes that could result in significant American casualties, urging American families to bring their loved ones home to avoid future grief.

He concluded his message with a stark warning about the potential consequences of continued military presence in the region, suggesting that orders for strikes could be issued at any moment in response to public demand in Iran.
