Addressing a ceremony in Iran’s southern port city of Bandar Abbas on November 4, Hamid Reza Moqaddamfar referred to the results of the US congressional elections, saying, “From the perspective of the Iranian people and officials, there is essentially and fundamentally no difference between the elephants, meaning the Republicans, and the donkeys, meaning the Democrats.”

“In this respect, developments in US domestic politics are of no importance to Iran's policymaking. However, one cannot overlook the very important fact that the debacle suffered by Trump's party in the US elections was the result of America's heavy defeat in its warmongering against Iran,” he added.

“These elections were, in fact, a major referendum in the United States on the outcome of the war and Americans' opinion about the war against Iran, and they are very significant in this respect and constitute further proof of Iran's status as a superpower,” Moqaddamfar stated.

Emphasizing that the Islamic Republic of Iran has a long history and experience of bringing down officials in the US, the expert said, “Just as God drowned Pharaoh in the Nile, through the blood of the oppressed martyrs of Minab and other martyrs of Iran, He will destroy the American and Zionist criminals, including Trump and Netanyahu.”

Referring to Imam Khomeini's statement describing the takeover of the former US embassy in Tehran, known as the Den of Espionage, as the Second Revolution and the US coup in 1979, he noted, “After the martyrdom of General Qassem Soleimani, the martyred Imam, Grand Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, said that we would expel the United States from the region. Today, we are witnessing the unfolding of the ‘Third Revolution,’ and the process of expelling the Americans has intensified considerably following their recent defeat against Iran.”

Recalling the humiliating US withdrawals from Afghanistan and Iraq, Moqaddamfar continued, “According to American media outlets and politicians, Iran has practically destroyed almost all the bases of these longtime criminals in the region. The Americans know that they will no longer have an opportunity to rebuild their bases, and therefore they are seeking to flee the region.”

“Today, perhaps for the first time in history, not only does no US military fleet, but no extra-regional military fleet at all, dare to enter the Persian Gulf. Out of fear of Iran's warship-destroying missiles, the Americans have taken refuge with their warships and military vessels at a distance of 400 to 500 kilometers!” he stated.

“Today, the America that once considered itself a superpower takes pride in nothing but having become the world's greatest censor of its losses in the region and the world's most cowardly smuggler! This is the fate of all arrogant criminals who confront a freedom-loving nation like Iran,” Moqaddamfar stressed.

“If American media outlets are not afraid of Trump, let them come to the Strait of Hormuz and see whether the scale of the strikes inflicted on vessels that violate the rules is consistent with what their officials claim or not. Let them see for themselves whether the strait is open as Trump says, or whether this Pinocchio is feeding them big lies,” the adviser stated.

He then added that the “Fourth Revolution,” meaning the collapse of the American empire in the world, would materialize in the near future. “The ‘Hormuz Moment’ has happened to the Americans, and this issue is irreversible. God willing, another criminal empire will soon join the dustbin of history,” he said.

Referring to signs of the decline of US hegemony and hard power, Moqaddamfar pointed to widespread global hatred of Trump and his lackey, Netanyahu, and said, “In just the past day or two, Iran shot down the 56th advanced American drone and has so far destroyed more than 42 of their highly advanced aircraft, including their military pride and prestige, the F-35, as well as refueling aircraft. Iran has shown everyone that relying on the US for security and military protection is foolish. Therefore, the transformation of the global military-security order by Iran is an issue acknowledged by almost all Western think tanks and media outlets.”

The further referred to the change in Iran's military doctrine, saying that this shift is one of the signs of Iran's superiority in the war. He stated that Iran has neither retreated into a defensive posture nor shown weakness. “Rather, Iran has emphasized that if any action were taken, its strikes this time would be different,” he noted.

The adviser to the IRGC commander warned, “If the US or the Zionists take any action, Iran will respond with its new doctrine and new technology in conventional weapons, delivering responses different from those of the past.”

“If governments such as the UAE, Bahrain and others provide the US with bases to attack Iran, this time we will not merely strike the sources of the attacks, namely the bases; Iran's attacks will go further and deliver a greater lesson,” Moqaddamfar warned.

He also warned that if any assassination of Iranian officials or commanders takes place, Iran will deliver surprise responses to the enemy.

“Iran has abandoned the principle of ‘reciprocity’ and ‘proportionality’ in responding to attacks some time ago, and we will deliver responses beyond what the enemy imagines and beyond any geographical limitations,” he stated.
