The Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Ahmad Vahidi, has claimed that US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are “trapped in a slaughterhouse in the Persian Gulf” amid escalating tensions in the region.
Vahidi made the remark during an interview with Mehr News Agency while speaking on the ongoing hostilities involving Iran, the United States, and Israel.
According to him, recent strikes carried out by Iran targeted key infrastructure in Israel.
“Now is our downhill phase. You saw what happened just last night in Tel Aviv,” he said.
“This means that we hit the radars and the infrastructure. Today, truly, Mr Trump and Netanyahu are trapped in a slaughterhouse in the Persian Gulf.
“And in the coming days and weeks, much more joyful news will be delivered to the dear nation of Iran.”
In a related development, Iran released a video allegedly showing captured US soldiers during the ongoing conflict between the United States and Israel on one side and Iran on the other.
In the footage circulating online, the soldiers appear kneeling with their hands cuffed behind their backs.
Reports indicate that tensions escalated on February 28 after the United States and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran, an attack said to have killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.
Since then, hostilities have intensified, with Iran reportedly targeting US interests in neighbouring countries and launching drone and missile strikes toward Israel.
The United States is said to have recorded at least seven soldiers killed during the conflict, while no fewer than 104 others have sustained injuries.
