Iranian Army spokesperson Brigadier General Mohammad Akraminia says the US-Israeli war on Iran demonstrated that the United States cannot appear as a legitimate superpower, IRNA reports.

Akraminia said the US has been faced with serious challenges in both its military capabilities and its soft power and morality, resulting in a decline in its standing.

He said that more than three decades after the collapse of the bipolar world order, the world is witnessing an accelerating move toward multilateralism and a multipolar order.

“In other words, the world is moving from the period of Western and US hegemony toward a post-American and post-Western order in which countries have greater freedom of action and independence in pursuing their national security and interests,” he said.

Akraminia added that the US adopted “aggressive” and “illegal” behaviour in an attempt to preserve its hegemony.
