Iran's Revolutionary Guards issued a severe threat against Israel, warning that an attack on Iranian energy infrastructure would result in a "devastating and unprecedented" response.

The threat, made by Revolutionary Guards spokesperson Hossein Moghimi on social media platform X, stated that if Iran's energy facilities are targeted, its military response could turn Israel into "scorched earth" and cause its residents to flee towards the Sinai Desert. Moghimi added that the entire world would witness the consequences of such an action. The post was later removed for violating platform rules.

This escalation in rhetoric comes amid ongoing regional security tensions and the confrontation between Tehran and Washington. The Iranian regime appears to be attempting to deter both Israel and the United States from expanding military actions against it.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also issued a strong message to U.S. President Donald Trump, warning against further attempts to harm Iran and claiming the country has grown stronger from previous confrontations. Araghchi stated that Tehran has "unfinished business" with its adversaries and accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of trying to lead the United States into another war for personal and political reasons.

The exchange of threats highlights the intensifying war of words between Iran, Israel, and the United States. Tehran seeks to project deterrence through extreme messaging, while the challenge of confronting the Iranian threat remains a central focus of security and political agendas.
