Iran's Basij chief dismisses Trump remarks as attempt to undermine morale
The head of Iran’s paramilitary Basij organization, Brigadier General Gholamreza Soleimani, has dismissed remarks by former US President Donald Trump during his Middle East visit, calling them “nonsense aimed at demoralizing the Iranian people.”
“A man has come from the other side of the world to speak in Arab countries. Who can deny the capabilities and resources of the Iranian nation?” Soleimani said on Thursday.
“These absurd comments are meant to discourage our people. We must instead inject hope with such programs,” he added.
