Major General Mohsen Rezaei to US President: Iran Determines Reality on the Battlefield
Major General Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, in a blunt message to the President of the United States on the evening of Friday, October 2, 2026, dismissed the President’s baseless claims regarding imagined victories against the Islamic Republic of Iran as a sign of desperation and the consecutive failures of US policies.
Critiquing the Illusion of Victory Against the Reality of the Battlefield
Criticizing the US President’s approach in providing false narratives regarding the situation in the region and the confrontation with Iran, the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council wrote on his personal page on the social network X:
“After consecutive defeats, the worst president in US history continues to talk incessantly; and now, his words have gone even beyond his own fantasies.”
This stance indicates that senior Iranian security officials assess recent rhetoric from Washington officials not as a strategic position, but as a result of domestic needs and an attempt to escape the bitter realities of the battlefield for the US administration.
Iran Is the Primary Determinant of Equations
In the continuation of his message, emphasizing that the scene of action is no place for media propaganda, Major General Rezaei added:
“You can be victorious in your imagination every day; but Iran determines the reality—with its people, its soldiers, and its missiles.”
This short and decisive message carries the strategic warning that the Islamic Republic of Iran, relying on its three main components of power—namely national cohesion, the capability of the Armed Forces, and deterrent missile power—manages the real balance in the field of action and will not be influenced by the psychological warfare and narrative construction of the White House. Experts view this position as a direct response to Washington’s recent attempts to induce an atmosphere of “victory in the war” within the United States.
