DUBAI: The United States lacks the courage for military confrontation with Iran, the Islamic Republic’s army chief said on Sunday, according to state TV.
“In a potential conflict in the future, which I don’t think they [Americans] have the courage to carry out, there it will become clear where the numbers five and two will belong,” Iran’s Army chief Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi said in response to a threat by US President Donald Trump on Saturday.
Trump threatened to hit 52 Iranian sites “very hard” if Iran attacks Americans or US assets after a drone strike that killed Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani.

The United States President Donald Trump is “a terrorist in a suit”, Iranian Information and Telecommunications Minister Mohammad Javad Azari-Jahromi tweeted on Sunday.
“Like ISIS, Like Hitler, Like Genghis! They all hate cultures. Trump is a terrorist in a suit. He will learn history very soon that NOBODY can defeat ‘the Great Iranian Nation & Culture’,” Jahromi tweeted.
