Iran official taunts US military, tells forces to flee Persian Gulf: 'Head home while you still can'
The chairman of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission taunted the U.S. military Wednesday, urging American forces to leave the Persian Gulf as tensions with Tehran continue to escalate.
“Iran's navy just sent a clear message: the security and stability of the Persian Gulf are managed by Iran,” Ebrahim Azizi said in a post on X.
“To the remaining forces: Save what's left of your gear and head home while you still can, and focus on defending your own borders!” he warned.

Trump says Iran war will end ‘immediately’ after election, Tehran ‘can’t hold out any longer’
President Donald Trump said Wednesday the Iran war could end as soon as the election is over while stating Tehran is running out of options as U.S. attacks continue.
“We've knocked out nine of their ships. I would say that the attacks are caused by us.
“You're going to see you're going to see a lot more. We've taken out about nine of their tankers," he said.
“I think the war is going to end immediately after the election,” Trump told reporters before saying Iran “can't hold out any longer.”
“All they want is a nuclear weapon. And if they had a nuclear weapon, the whole world is in deep trouble,” Trump added.
Asked about the possibility of a nuclear deal with Iran, Trump said he was hoping for “much more than a nuclear deal.”
“There's a lot more than nuclear. We're going to have nuclear. That's 99.9, but there's going to be a lot of other things on the table that wouldn't have been on the table three months ago,” Trump said.
“We're so far down the line, they have very little country left right now, so we're not looking for it.
“A negotiation could possibly happen, but it's not something we're looking at,” the president added.
