Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) issued a severe threat against Israel on Monday, vowing a "devastating response" if Iran's energy infrastructure is attacked. The threat was made by IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohabi via a post on X, which was later removed for violating platform rules.
Mohabi stated that any attack on Iran's energy infrastructure would result in the "occupied territories" becoming "scorched earth forever" and would drive those who occupied them into the Sinai Desert. He added, "The world will see what happens."
These remarks followed a warning from Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to U.S. President Donald Trump. Araghchi accused Trump of taking further steps against Iran and alleged that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was attempting to drag Washington into another military conflict ahead of Israeli elections.
Araghchi wrote on X that Iran emerged stronger the last time the U.S. sought to "finish the job" and invited them to try again, but cautioned, "We also have unfinished accounts." He further claimed that Netanyahu was leading America into another war to avoid imprisonment, disregarding the consequences for Israel and the U.S. president.
