Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, issued a stern warning to U.S. President Donald Trump, criticizing his endorsement of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of Israeli elections. Araghchi accused Netanyahu of attempting to drag the United States into a military conflict to avoid legal repercussions.
In a social media post, Araghchi directly addressed Trump's threats of further action against Iran. "The last time you wanted to 'finish the job,' Iran emerged even stronger. Want to try your luck again? Please, you are welcome. But be careful, we also have unfinished accounts," Araghchi wrote. He further asserted that Netanyahu is leading America into another war for personal gain, disregarding the consequences for Israel and the U.S. president.
Earlier, Trump had publicly declared his full support for Netanyahu on the social media platform Truth Social. Trump praised Netanyahu as a "great fighter" and a "great partner for peace" in confronting Iran. He argued that Iran's threats to destroy Israel and the U.S. would have been realized without decisive action, noting Iran's significant military and economic damage. Trump also threatened that if Iran did not change its ways, the U.S. and Israel would "finish the job."
Trump also commented on the Israeli election, warning that if Netanyahu were not re-elected, the U.S. would have to handle the situation alone. He lauded Netanyahu's resilience under political and security pressures, even from within Israel, stating that Netanyahu "thrived" despite opposition. Trump concluded by explicitly endorsing Netanyahu for re-election, assuring Israeli voters that "Bibi Netanyahu will never let you down."
