Mohammadreza Naqdi, an adviser to the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said: “Trump is not thinking about the national interests of the United States; rather, he is thinking about his own economic interests.” He added: “Five thousand American soldiers are stuck on aircraft carriers and are wandering in the ocean.” Naqdi said: “Two American aircraft carriers are wandering in the Indian Ocean, and for seven months a frigate—and even a small boat—from the U.S. Army has not been able to dock at the Navy’s Fifth Fleet, which is also imposing for itself.” He added: “The net budget of our armed forces is one percent of the U.S. military budget.” Naqdi said: “The people of America should know that their form of government is not right, and that the people they have elected do not deserve to govern the people.” He also said: “Our people do not leave the field as the price of the dollar goes up and down.”
