Former Iranian foreign minister Ali Akbar Velayati, who currently serves as a senior advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei, has warned US Marines they are being sacrificed by US President Donald Trump and his ambitions to remain in office even after the end of his current term in 2028.
In a thread published on his X account on Tuesday, Velayati sent a message to sailors onboard the USS Tripoli who are currently in regional waters near Iran with a stated mission of enforcing a blockade on the country and breaking its control over the Strait of Hormuz.
“You are extras in a movie show for Trump’s next presidential election… Your president has not been able to save US forces in previous wars,” he said.
The former diplomat warned US Marines that contributing to Trump’s gamble in the Persian Gulf would literally cost them their lives.
“Now you are assigned to save the money boxes of our region, but you will end up in an abattoir,” he said.
The warning came a day after Iranian and US naval forces exchanged fire near the Strait of Hormuz, after Trump announced he had ordered an operation to break restrictions imposed by Iran on cargo transit via the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s IRGC once again warned that any vessel attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz must first obtain permission from the Iranian armed forces, emphasizing that all ships planning to pass through the demarcated zone need Iran’s permission.

Several ships and other port facilities were hit during the exchange of fire, while both sides claimed they had successfully defended their military positions in the Persian Gulf.
However, experts have warned that US interference with the status quo in the Strait, which has been in place since the early days of the US-Israeli aggression against Iran in early March, would seriously escalate the situation, prompting a resumption of military confrontation that was halted as part of a ceasefire reached in early April.
Velayati said that US attempts to militarize the Persian Gulf would ultimately lead to more damage for Washington.
“History is a good teacher. Tripoli will not be repeated in the Persian Gulf but rather it will become a nightmare and will demolish your security!” he said.
America must not covet that which belongs to Persia/Iran
It is after all called the Persian Gulf.
I think he meant to say, “Allah-toir”
When I find a child in piles of rubble, Mother Misanthropy comes to me
Speaking a foregone conclusion,
Let ’em grieve, let ’em grieve…
And in an eternity of darkness
She is standing right in front of thee
Speaking a foregone conclusion
Let ’em grieve, let ’em grieve.
And when the.dismembered
children living in the world agree
There won’t be an answer, let it be. Let it be.
For though they may be maimed and broken there’s not a hope in hell that they will see…
There won’t be an answer, let it grieve, LET IT GRIEVE…
Can’t think of a worse place to be right now, cooped up on the Tripoli or Boxer under a blazing sun, and wondering why. Or perhaps there IS something worse: being sent into a new version of Gallipoli or Omaha Beach? This conflict is not being pursued in the interests of the USA, so don’t let anyone be fooled by that nonsense. It’s all about saving Trump’s face by keeping the Pandora’s box known as the Epstein Files firmly under lock and key. In that respect NO price is too high to pay.
So..what’s the next move ?
Gridlock maintained ?
Probably a ship carrying cheap yarmulkes “Made in China” gets attacked = Anti -Semitic False Flag.
Abattoir ?
Goyim prime cuts ?
Jews line up for more Blood- Libel freebies ?
Favourit cuts are the genitals and the ass cheeks ..
Iran will be patient and only react if and when USA fires first or False Flag (likely)
Bloated TACO Trumpstein is too irrational …anything possible.
Trumpstein will not sit still.Iran likely knows this.
Iran’s next move will be epic..no more f*cking around .
ONE and DONE
My guess is starts all over again by the weekend.
