Iran's top military commander has issued a stern warning to the United States, declaring that any war against Tehran would become a "lesson" for US President Donald Trump. The statement comes amid rising tensions between the two nations, as military deployments and political rhetoric continue to intensify across the Middle East.

Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, said President Trump should understand that entering a conflict with Iran would amount to engaging in what he described as a "lesson-giving battle." His remarks signaled Tehran's readiness to respond firmly to any military action.

President Trump had earlier stated that regime change in Iran "would be the best thing that could happen," further escalating the already strained relationship. His comments came as Washington reinforced its military presence in the region and warned of consequences if diplomatic talks collapse.

The US president announced that the USS Gerald R. Ford, regarded as the world's largest aircraft carrier, would soon be deployed to the Middle East. He explained that the vessel would be needed if ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran fail to produce an agreement.

"In case we don't make a deal, we'll need it," Trump said, emphasizing that the carrier would depart shortly. His remarks underscored the administration's readiness to combine diplomacy with a show of military strength.

Meanwhile, the USS Abraham Lincoln and several US destroyers are already stationed in the Gulf region. They were dispatched last month following heightened tensions and concerns over regional security developments.

Mousavi dismissed Trump's statements as "unworthy of a president" and "reckless." He added that if Washington genuinely seeks war, it should not simultaneously speak of negotiations, referring to the renewed nuclear diplomacy talks that resumed earlier this month between the two countries.
