Iran Military Spox Deploys Trump's Signature Catchphrase Against Him

A representative for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps slammed claims that the U.S. and Iran are in talks to negotiate an end to the war.

President Donald Trump had his famous catchphrase flipped back at him by an Iranian military official who rejected claims the nation was in talks to end the war started by the U.S. and Israel.

As Trump continues to insist the Iranian government is clamoring to negotiate for peace, a representative for the nation’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters denied Trump’s account in a video statement.

In a recording translated by Al Jazeera, Brigadier General Ebrahim Zolfaghar addressed “the enemy forces those who prefer fleeing over standing their ground.”

“Those same masters of consecutive defeats who use the Muslim people of the region as their human shields and see fear in every one of their cells until the time of our strikes arrives so that they may be relieved of their fear even before the impact,” he added, calling their defeat retribution for those who cast “malicious intent on the security of our people.”

Switching to English to zing the U.S. president with the signature line from his reality TV show, “The Apprentice,” Zolfaghar said, “Hey Trump, you’re fired. You’re familiar with this sentence.”
