Even though the missiles between America and Iran seem to be calm, the war of words and attacks continue. So what if these two arch-enemies of the world are not showering gunpowder on each other, they are definitely giving each other sleepless nights with their sharp statements. Recently, US presidential contender and former President Donald Trump has done something which has completely surprised the entire world.
This time, by saying 'Allah-hu-Akbar', Trump has launched such a strong verbal attack on Iran, which hardly anyone would have imagined. Trump has created a stir in global politics by issuing statements in the same style that leaders of Western countries generally never use. He ended his official social media post with 'Praise be to Allah!' That is, by writing 'Allah-hu-Akbar', it has taken a strong jibe at Iran. Along with this, Trump has mentioned 'Wall of Steel', on the basis of which he is standing with full chest on the issue of Hormuz.
Trump's sharp verbal attack on Iran and the entire Hormuz dispute
These days Donald Trump is under a lot of pressure regarding the issue of Strait of Hormuz. Talks to end the ongoing war between America and Iran are not reaching any result. Taking advantage of this, Iran has once again closed the route of 'Hormuz', in response to which America has also completely blockaded Iranian ports. Not only America or Iran, but the entire world is suffering the loss of this tension.
Even though both the countries are not carrying out direct military attacks on each other, Trump does not forget to give a dose of verbal attacks two-three times a day. Recently, Trump has made a similar explosive post on 'Truth Social', in which he has claimed that the world's most important 'Strait of Hormuz' is now completely 'occupied' by America. America has named this dangerous blockade of its navy as 'Wall of Steel', on the basis of which Trump is openly challenging Iran.
What is this dreaded 'Wall of Steel', on the basis of which Trump is building his chest?
America has spread such a network of its powerful navy, giant aircraft carriers and modern destroyer ships in the Persian Gulf and the mouth of the 'Strait of Hormuz' that even the birds cannot hit. Donald Trump has called this impenetrable maritime blockade 'Wall of Steel'.
Trump claims that it is not possible for Iran to penetrate this iron and steel wall. Let us tell you that about 20 percent of the world's crude oil passes through this sea route. America says that it has completely sealed this entire maritime area, due to which Iran's remaining oil trade and maritime activities have come to a complete standstill. Trump has said in a very confident tone that, “America has complete control over the Strait of Hormuz and I am confident that this control will remain with us in future also.”
'IRGC soldiers are leaving the battlefield and running away'
Flaunting Iran's military and economic strength, Trump claimed that Iran's backbone has been broken due to America's continuous attacks and stringent sanctions. Trump sarcastically said that Iran no longer has even a nominal navy or air force left. Those soldiers who are left have not even received their salaries for the last several months.
Referring to Iran's notorious army Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Trump said that this most powerful army of the country has been completely destroyed from inside and its fighters are now leaving the field out of fear. Trump further said that Iran has become a completely 'pauperized' country, where the inflation rate has crossed the 300 percent mark and the situation there is getting worse day by day. Trump also sarcastically said that Iran is no longer the 'grandfather' of the Middle East, and it now has no other option but to spread 'fake news'. At the end of his entire statement, he ended his speech by writing 'Allah Hu Akbar'.
Iran flatly rejects claims of extending ceasefire
On one hand, these provocative statements of Donald Trump have created a sensation, while on the other hand, all hopes of reducing tension between Tehran and Washington have suffered a major setback. Recently, it was claimed in many international media reports that after the mediation of Pakistan, an agreement has been reached between America and Iran to extend the temporary ceasefire for 60 days.
However, Iran has completely rejected all these claims. In an interview given to the prestigious news agency Reuters, a senior Iranian government source made it clear that there has been no discussion of any kind with America regarding extending the ceasefire. The Iranian source said bluntly, “In our view, when a ceasefire agreement had not even started, the question of taking it forward or extending it does not arise.” Iran also alleges that within just 48 hours of the interim agreement signed last June, America had violated it and a few days later had reneged on its promise. This is the reason why Iran is not ready to accept any fake ceasefire agreement.
