Larijani to Trump: You Will Pay Heavy Price of Imam Khamenei Martyrdom

Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council as he attends funeral of martyred Hezbollah Secretary Generals Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safieddine in Beirut (February 23, 2025).

Iran’s security chief said US President Donald Trump had inflicted a heavy loss on his country by launching a war with Iran that was only the result of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s warmongering tactics.

In a post on his X account on Wednesday, Ali Larijani, who serves as secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), said that the United States had lost some 500 soldiers since it joined ‘Israel’ in a war on Iran on February 28.

Larijani said that the heavy loss has exposed Trump’s deceitful mantra of putting America First.

“Mr. Trump, swayed by Netanyahu’s clownish antics, has dragged the American people into an unjust war with Iran.

Now he must calculate: with over 500 American soldiers killed in just the past few days, does America still come first—or Israel?” he said in the post.
