Iranian Official Threatens Trump and Netanyahu with the Fate of Saddam Hussein

- A prominent Iranian military leader threatened U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday with the fate of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. The official Iranian news agency (IRNA) reported that the advisor to the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Ramadan Sharif, during a speech at a public event in Tehran, stated, "The fate that befell Saddam and the Ba'ath Party is inevitably awaiting both Trump and Netanyahu and their supporters."

He continued by saying, "The Americans and Israelis have waged their wars based on incorrect calculations, refusing to acknowledge historical reality." This comes at a time when the "Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters" in Iran warned the United States and countries in the region against making any mistakes in calculations regarding any actions against Iran.

The semi-official Iranian news agency "Tasnim" reported that the "Khatam al-Anbiya" headquarters, the unified command of the Iranian army, stated in a statement: "If you make a mistake, you will be the target of painful attacks." The United States has not carried out any strikes on Iran for about two weeks.

The U.S. military had stated that it destroyed five Iranian oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman on September 8, in response to Iranian attempts to launch missile attacks on a U.S. Navy ship, while the Iranian Revolutionary Guard claimed it launched ballistic missiles at a U.S. base in Jordan. There are no indications of a resumption of negotiations between the United States and Iran.
