Iran Warns Trump: ‘You’ve Messed With The Wrong Country’

Iran Issues Stark Warning to US Amid Escalating Tensions

Tehran, Iran – An Iranian academic has issued a strong warning to the United States, stating that “You’ve messed with the wrong country” as tensions between the two nations escalate. The comments come in the wake of recent attacks and retaliatory actions, highlighting a deeply divided perspective on the ongoing conflict.

Iran’s Retaliation and US Response

Last night, Iran launched attacks targeting Israel, resulting in two fatalities in Tel Aviv. These strikes were presented as retaliation for the death of Ali Larajani, a senior Iranian leader. In response, the United States announced it had bombed missile sites within Iran that posed a threat to the Strait of Hormuz. Communication within Iran has been challenging, with internet access restricted for over three weeks, making it difficult to gauge internal dissent.

Professor’s Perspective from Tehran

Professor Muhammad Mirandi, an English literature professor at the University of Tehran, joined a broadcast from Iran to offer his perspective. He criticized the difficulty in communicating with people inside Iran, suggesting it stems from US support for what he called a “regime involved in the murder of people.” Professor Mirandi explained that the internet restrictions are partly due to concerns about the US and Israeli regimes using people’s cameras for intelligence and targeting.

“It’s because of aggression and murder and death and destruction that your governments bring about that this is the situation,” Professor Mirandi stated, directly accusing Western governments of causing the current crisis.

Differing Views on Leader’s Death

The death of Ali Larajani has been described by America and Israel as a significant turning point in the conflict. However, Professor Mirandi countered this, claiming that millions of Iranians rally nightly in support of their armed forces, constitution, and leadership. He alleged that Western media has hidden the fact that during a major rally in Tehran, missiles were fired at demonstrators by what he described as “US-Israeli jets.”

The interviewer questioned Professor Mirandi about his claim, asking who fired the missiles at people on the streets. Professor Mirandi reiterated that “US-Israeli jets” fired at demonstrators, a detail he believes is suppressed by Western media due to extensive censorship and propaganda.

Accusations of State-Sponsored Violence

When pressed about Ali Larajani’s responsibility for the deaths of protesters, Professor Mirandi shifted blame. He asserted that the responsibility lies with “your regimes” for sending terrorists and weapons to create an “armed insurrection.” He cited statements from Mossad and figures like Pompeo, as well as Israeli media reports, to suggest foreign intelligence agencies supplied weapons used to kill police officers and others.

The interviewer challenged this, stating there was no proof of anyone being armed and significant evidence pointing to the Iranian regime’s responsibility for the deaths of tens of thousands, with some protesters allegedly shot at close range or even killed in hospitals. Professor Mirandi dismissed these claims as lies and propaganda, comparing the situation to events in Gaza.

Economic Threats and Global Impact

Professor Mirandi argued that the US is trying to deflect attention by projecting its actions onto Iran. He questioned why, if the Iranian regime is so oppressive, millions of people continue to support it. He asserted that Iran can sustain the closure of the Strait of Hormuz indefinitely, framing it as a fight for survival against what he called the “Epstein class and ethnosremacism in Palestine.”

When asked about the mention of Jeffrey Epstein, Professor Mirandi explained it relates to the “class of people” he believes are in charge in Western countries, controlling media and governments, and initiating wars. He referenced an unnamed American anti-terrorist official who reportedly resigned, stating Iran was not a threat and the war was driven by the Israeli regime and its lobby, which he again linked to the “Epstein class.”

Path Forward: Conflict or Diplomacy?

Professor Mirandi dismissed concerns that his language might hinder credibility, stating that people take their deaths seriously, unlike what he perceives as Western indifference. When asked about a way out of the current situation, he predicted a “strategic defeat to the United States under Trump.” He ruled out any possibility of talks or a deal between the two sides.

“No, not at all. We will fight and we’ll hold the US by the throat through the Strait of Hormuz and we’ll continue to hammer them,” Professor Mirandi declared. He warned that any ground action by the US would reveal Iran’s full capabilities, reiterating that Iran is not a country to be trifled with and that its people are resolved to see this through.

Final Remarks and Unverified Reports

The interview concluded with a question regarding unconfirmed reports of the death of a new Ayatollah. Professor Mirandi dismissed this as “ridiculous” and part of “your narratives,” asserting that the leader is in charge and the US empire is collapsing. He accused the US of involvement in carpet bombing Tehran and other parts of the country, stating the world would not forget these actions.

Professor Muhammad Mirandi was thanked for his time from Tehran.
