[Iran's Top Security Official: US Launched a "Foolish War" Against Iran; Netanyahu Dragged Trump into the Quagmire] In an interview, Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, stated that Trump launched a "foolish war" against Iran and is foolishly continuing it. He indicated that Iran is prepared to respond more strongly and painfully if the US launches another military aggression, as it did during the 40-day conflict that began earlier this year. Rezaei attributed the current situation in the US to Trump's miscalculation. He stated that the US's actions—including military action, a naval blockade, and subsequent economic isolation—demonstrate Washington's failure to accurately assess or calculate the military, economic, and political implications. He added that the US war against Iran was entirely driven by Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu, who "dragged Trump into the quagmire."
