General Abolfazl Shakarchi emphasized in a message: "We will not allow the enemy's regional order in West Asia to be renewed; the countries of the region must step out from under America's ineffective security umbrella." In this message, he referred to the ineffectiveness of U.S. strategies in the region and reminded that this country has resorted to fuel smuggling.
Analysis of Security Situation in West Asia
General Shakarchi, referring to America's "self-made quagmire" in West Asia, stated that maritime piracy and fuel smuggling cannot prevent the definitive defeat of this country. In his opinion, "The propaganda war and the repeated lies of U.S. officials about dominating the Strait of Hormuz will not change the realities on the ground."

Ground Realities and Consequences of Defeat
This military official emphasized that "defeat cannot be hidden by propaganda and psychological warfare" and added: "The realities on the ground cannot be changed by noise." According to him, the recent insults from U.S. officials to the Iranian nation have only strengthened the resolve of the people and prove that America is in a state of desperation.
General Shakarchi also referred to the power and will of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, stating that these forces, with greater preparedness than before, will defend national interests and the security of the country. He stressed that "we have repeatedly shown our power and determination to American and Zionist enemies and their allies."
Call to Exit from America's Security Umbrella
He further urged the countries of the region to abandon their dependence on America's security umbrella. According to General Shakarchi, "Washington is even incapable of ensuring its own security in the region, let alone the security of others." He emphasized that continuing to rely on this umbrella would be accepting the heavy costs of a wrong decision.
General Shakarchi concluded by saying: "The countries of the region have experienced the ineffectiveness of America's claimed security umbrella in practice, and now it is time to learn from this experience." He warned that they should not throw themselves into the pit of death with the "rotten rope of Trump and Netanyahu."
