Spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Ebrahim Zolfaghari, has dismissed United States President Donald Trump’s recent social media rhetoric on military escalation, declaring that “wars are decided on the battlefield, not on social media.”

In a message released by Iranian state media, Zolfaghari directly addressed Trump, mocking the name of the U.S. military campaign dubbed “Epic Fury.”
He suggested it would be “better described as ‘Epic Fear’” and added, “The outcome of war cannot be determined by tweets. It’s determined on the battlefield. The very place where you and your forces do not dare approach.”
The remarks come amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, with Trump recently amplifying warnings of potential strikes against Iranian targets via his social media platform.
