A military advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution�Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei warns the US that any hostile action against the Iranian nation will be met with a �decisive response,� advising President Donald Trump not to �twist the lion�s tail.�

Hossein Dehqan, also a former defense minister, on Thursday blasted Trump for using his address to the United Nations to shamelessly boast about his order in January to assassinate Iranian anti-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.
�Today, there is a president at the helm in the United States, who is ready to wreak havoc on his own society for the sake of his hegemony and [continued] stay [in office], someone who is an anarchist in every sense of the word, someone who has not only plunged the American people into mire but also caused crisis for the West.�
During his speech to a virtual meeting of the 75th United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, Trump praised his own decisions to quit the landmark 2015 Iran deal, impose crippling sanctions on Iran and assassinate�General Soleimani.

�They (the Americans) thought that if the US pulled out of the JCPOA, they could bring about the collapse of the Iranian society�s economy within three months and achieve their goals by creating dissatisfaction among the people and widespread unrest, but we tell President Trump that twisting the lion�s tail will not have pleasant consequences for you,� Dehqan emphasized, referring to the 2015 nuclear agreement by the acronym of its official name, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

He also touched on the 1980-88 imposed war on Iran, saying former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was only a tool in the hands of Iran�s enemies led by the United States.
�The US has learned great lessons from our Sacred Defense, but it may make a mistake and attempt to create new fields [of confrontation] against the Iranian nation. However, it must know that any action by them will be met with a decisive and regrettable response from the Iranian people,� he added.
�Normalization deals won't save Israel�

The advisor to Ayatollah Khamenei further denounced the US-brokered deals that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain have recently signed to normalize ties with Israel in a betrayal of fellow Palestinians.

�The mobilization of reactionary countries in the region to help the Zionist regime does not kill the Palestinian cause� and will fail to provide security for the occupying regime, Dehqan underlined.

�This measure will only increase the anger of the Arab and Muslim nations in such a way that all the actors in the scene will regret their actions,� he noted.
