Iranian Military Warns US Against Hostile Hegemonic Policies

The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran warned the United States on November 8, 2026, against continuing hostile and hegemonic policies toward the Islamic Republic. Brigadier General Shekarchi, spokesperson for the military, asserted that any power opposing Iran would face collapse and disintegration in the eyes of global public opinion.

Shekarchi characterized recent U.S. midterm election losses for Republicans as evidence of Washington's strategic failures in confronting Iran and the broader conflict in West Asia. He claimed that the maximum pressure doctrine and military strategies of the Donald Trump administration failed because of the resistance of Iran's leadership and military.

According to Shekarchi, U.S. policies have resulted in strategic erosion and deep internal crises within the White House. He argued that global power dynamics are shifting away from hegemonic control and that Washington's doctrine of aggression has proven ineffective against the will of the Iranian nation.
