Fmr. Iranian FM calls on Tehran to kidnap thousands of US soldiers from military bases

Former Iranian foreign minister and current member of parliament Manouchehr Mottaki has called for Iran to launch a ground war, infiltrate U.S. military bases in the Middle East, and take thousands of American soldiers hostage. Mottaki made these remarks during an interview broadcast on Iranian state media, framing the proposed action as retaliation for U.S. strikes and threats against Iran's oil facilities.

Mottaki also described the recent Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding talks between Iran and the U.S. as a "deception plan." He asserted that the United States aimed to end the Islamic Republic through these negotiations but ultimately failed. He further called for domestic and international "vengeance" following the deaths of Iranian leaders in recent strikes, demanding the prosecution of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump.

If the negotiating team still does not believe this, hold a meeting and explain it to them. Islamabad was a plan, a broader scheme of deception and maneuvering by the United States. The Americans had a plan that they thought they could finish within two or three days and achieve their goal, which was to bring an end to the Islamic Republic. They failed.

Previously, Mottaki referred to Bahrain as a "U.S. puppet" for drafting an anti-Iran resolution at the UN Security Council concerning the Strait of Hormuz. He warned Bahraini leaders against playing games with both the Americans and Iranians, suggesting their actions would be their "final anti-Iran effort."

Separately, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps urged citizens in Kuwait and Jordan to expel U.S. forces stationed in their countries.

Due to their lack of foresight and understanding, the leaders in Manama fail to realize that just as they should not play games with the Americans, they must certainly not play games with the Iranians. In other words, the Bahrainis, acting as American puppets, have initiated a move that was already on the White House agenda. This will undoubtedly be their final anti-Iran effort.
