“The heroic operations of Iranian forces against US aggressors in southern Isfahan reveal the hollow nature of the American military and the humiliating failure of its forces. Trump tries to justify the bitter defeat of his feeble army by creating confusion for the public,” Zolfaghari was quoted as saying by state-run Press TV.

“We had previously warned that the brave fighters of the nation in the armed forces, with God’s help, would cut down any invader and utterly crush the aggressors. The decisive victory of Iranian forces in southern Isfahan is a clear example of this courageous action,” he added further.
