Iran’s top security official, Ali Larijani, asserts that the United States and Israel pursue the fundamental dismantling of Iran through their actions.
In a recent pre-recorded interview aired on Iranian state television, Larijani declared, “Their objective—both the US and Israel—has always been to fundamentally dismantle Iran.” He accused the US of attempting to replicate a Venezuela-style scenario within Iran.
Larijani highlighted Americans’ key misunderstanding of West Asia, particularly Iran’s context. “Iran viewed the situation with Venezuela as a parallel,” he explained. “We believed striking and seizing control would improve conditions, but now they find themselves trapped.”
Warning Issued to Kurdish Groups
Larijani also delivered a stern message to Kurdish factions, stating, “If Kurds seek to maintain their communities, they must abandon independence aspirations, or they will surely become prey to adversaries.” He emphasized conveying this clearly to prevent missteps.
Shift in US Leadership Stance
US President Donald Trump has reversed his prior position opposing Kurdish involvement. Just five days earlier, Trump expressed support in a media interview for Kurdish strikes against Iran targets.
