In a post on his X account on Monday, Qalibaf cautioned that such a war would become a quagmire from which no US president, whether Republican or Democrat, could escape.
“Israelis are working overtime to drag the US into an endless war with Iran, a quagmire that no president, now or in the future, Republican or Democrat, could escape,” he wrote.
“Unless Washington drops the ‘Israel First’ mindset, America and its allies are headed straight for a dark age,” Qalibaf added.
His remarks came amid similar criticism by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, who said most Americans have grown weary of the Israeli regime repeatedly drawing successive US administrations into prolonged wars.
In a post on X on Monday, Araqchi said US President Donald Trump recognizes widespread American dissatisfaction with the Israeli regime but appears unable to understand its underlying reasons, adding that Americans are tired of the Israeli regime dragging Washington into endless wars, a situation that has also exhausted the region.
