Iran threatens to attack Manhattan and Wall Street of US; America faces a dangerous problem amid war
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
Iranian General Mohammad Reza Naghdi has escalated tensions by threatening direct attacks on American soil, specifically naming Wall Street and Manhattan as potential targets for asymmetric warfare. He asserts that Tehran possesses significant capabilities that have not yet been fully utilized, claiming that the fundamental energy of the Islamic Revolution is reserved for final stages rather than being exhausted. To counterbalance these threats, Naghdi attempted to diminish the perceived strength of US military power, arguing that American propaganda has created an exaggerated image of aircraft carriers and fighter jets while suggesting that over 90% of Iran's missile arsenal remains intact due to high production rates in domestic factories.
In addition to targeting US interests, General Naghdi issued stark warnings to Israelis residing outside their homeland, urging foreign nationals to leave Israel immediately to save their lives. He accused those who remain of committing crimes and threatened them with a lack of mercy if they do not comply with his demands. These aggressive statements coincide with reports that the ongoing military campaign against Iran is placing severe strain on American ammunition stockpiles, a concern confirmed by US Vice President J.D. Vance. Vance acknowledged the risks of potential shortages which could weaken the military's ability to respond to other global threats, while also blaming the previous administration for years of underfunding and resource deficits.
Despite these challenges, Vice President Vance emphasized that the United States remains in a strong position as the current administration works to rectify logistical issues and increase military capabilities. However, concerns within the Pentagon regarding the sustainability of a large-scale campaign against Iran are growing among senior military officials who warn that such operations cannot be maintained indefinitely. A primary fear is the rapid consumption of interceptors needed to defend against Iranian attacks, which could leave the US vulnerable. Furthermore, concentrating American forces in the Middle East for an extended period might reduce strategic capabilities in other regions, making it more difficult to address emerging threats outside the immediate conflict zone.

Iranian General Mohammad Reza Naghdi
threatened to take the confrontation
with the United States directly to
American soil. He specifically named
Wall Street and Manhattan among
potential targets, claiming that Tehran
possesses capabilities it has not yet
exploited. Naghdi simultaneously
attempted to downplay US military
potential. He claimed Iran allegedly
overestimated the American armed forces
because the US, through propaganda, had
created an exaggerated impression of the
capabilities of its aircraft carriers
and fighter jets. The general also
claims that over 90% of Iran's missile
arsenal remains in the country's
possession. He believes that Iran's
missile factories are currently
producing more missiles than are used in
combat, which is why their stockpiles
continue to grow. Naghdi did not provide
independent confirmation of these
statements. At the same [music] time,
the general made it clear that Iran was
considering expanding the geography of
the confrontation.
>> [music]
>> He stated that asymmetric warfare means
war on Wall Street and in Manhattan
anywhere and at any time. According to
Naghdi, Iran has capabilities that have
not yet been used
>> [music]
>> as Tehran has allegedly accomplished its
tasks with missiles and drones. The
fundamental energy of the Islamic
revolution has not yet been fully
unleashed. This energy is reserved for
the final stages, the general stated,
without specifying what capabilities he
was referring to. Naghdi also issued
threats against Israelis. He called on
those who had come to Israel from other
countries to leave the country. If
Israelis who arrived from other
countries want to save their lives, they
must return to their countries as soon
as possible, he said. Naghdi threatened
those who remained with a lack of mercy,
accusing them of committing crimes. US
officials have acknowledged that
prolonging the military campaign against
Iran is placing a significant strain on
American ammunition stockpiles and could
weaken the military's capabilities in
other regions of the world. According to
US Vice President J.D. Vance. Amid the
latest exchange of strikes between the
US and Iran, Vance was asked about the
risk of a shortage of ammunition and the
possible reduction in Washington's
ability to respond to other threats. The
Vice President confirmed that this issue
is a concern for the American
leadership. "Obviously, this is
concerning," Vance said. He also blamed
the previous Biden administration for
the current situation, accusing it of
years of underfunding the military and a
lack of resources. According to the Vice
President, the Donald Trump
administration is currently trying to
rectify the situation and increase the
capabilities of the American military.

>> Vance emphasized that the United States
remains in a strong position, but
effectively acknowledged the limitations
that must be taken into account when
continuing operations against Iran.
Concerns are also being voiced within
the Pentagon. According to US media
reports, senior military officials have
warned the country's leadership that a
large-scale campaign against Iran cannot
be sustained indefinitely. One of the
concerns raised is the consumption of
interceptors needed to repel potential
Iranian attacks. Military officials also
fear that further concentration of
American forces in the Middle East could
reduce US capabilities in other areas
and make it more difficult to respond to
potential threats outside the region.
