Tehran:An advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution has characterized the threats made by former U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a sign of desperation rather than strength.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Mohammad Mokhber, who serves as an advisor and assistant to the Leader, expressed through a post on his X account that Iran is acutely aware of the vulnerabilities of its adversaries. He highlighted that Iran's capacity for surprise on the battlefield and its influence in the oil and energy sectors could alter the power dynamics.

Mokhber further argued that the enduring presence of the Iranian nation in the region, spanning thousands of years, stands in contrast to what he describes as the Zionist regime's contemplation of its own 'non-existence.'
