In a phone call on Tuesday with Tajikistan's Minister of Defense, Imam Ali Saberzada, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, affirmed that Iran has no trust whatsoever in the promises or commitments of the United States or Israel, and emphasized that the country is fully prepared to respond decisively to any new potential threat.

According to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, Mousavi stated:
“This disgraceful aggression has proven to the world that the United States and the Zionist entity have fought Iran with all their might over the course of 12 days, disregarding all international standards and laws. Yet, they failed to achieve their objectives and suffered heavy blows, which forced them to request a ceasefire to save the Zionist entity.”
Tajik Defense Minister Saberzada expressed condolences over the death of General Bagheri and other Iranian military leaders and civilians:
“The martyrdom of General Bagheri and several senior commanders, along with innocent civilians, is a great loss for the government, people, and armed forces of Tajikistan. We extend our heartfelt condolences and sympathy.”
In return, Mousavi thanked Tajikistan for its support during the 12-day conflict, noting that the late General Bagheri had placed special importance on bilateral military ties:
“General Bagheri valued relations with Tajikistan and worked to strengthen cooperation between our armed forces. Positive and impactful steps were taken in that direction, and I will continue on the same path.”
The statements reflect Iran’s ongoing distrust of the U.S. and Israel, especially in the wake of the recent 12-day military confrontation, and signal a continuation of Iran's strategy of regional alliances and military readiness.
