Iran's top political, military, and security officials issued a series of severe threats against Israel and the United States following President Donald Trump's strong endorsement of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his direct warnings to Tehran. Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, directly warned Jerusalem and Washington, linking military actions to internal political considerations. Araghchi stated, "The last time you wanted to 'finish the job,' Iran emerged even stronger. Do you want to try your luck again? You are welcome. But be careful - we also have unfinished business." He sharply criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu, adding, "Netanyahu is dragging America into another war to stay out of prison, whatever the consequences for Israel, and even more so for the President of the United States."
At the military level, the tone became even more apocalyptic. The spokesperson for the Revolutionary Guards threatened severe strategic damage in response to any Israeli or American action against the regime's national assets. "Any damage to Iran's energy infrastructure, although it will be immediately repaired by our young scientists, will turn the occupied territories into a scorched earth forever and uproot their inhabitants to the Sinai desert. The world will see what happens!" he declared.
The peak of Iran's belligerence came from the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, Abdolahi, who directly attacked the US leadership and Israeli resilience. "The US President has already grown old and has no strength to get up from his seat. American society and the citizens of Israel know very well that you have serious and fundamental weaknesses. You should know that the next miscalculation will lead to different and harsher responses than before," Abdolahi stated. He concluded with an unambiguous message: "To test again what has already been tested is a mistake; we are eagerly awaiting your foolish decisions."
These Iranian statements come against the backdrop of Trump's public support for Netanyahu ahead of the Israeli elections, where the American president stated, "If Israel has the wrong leader, meaning anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this job itself, and I have no inclination to do so."
