Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded to statements made by U.S. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding Iran, warning that Iran also has "unfinished business." Simultaneously, Hossein Mohabbi, spokesperson for the Revolutionary Guards, threatened to turn Israel into "scorched earth" if Iranian energy infrastructure were attacked. Araghchi stated, "The last time you tried to 'finish the job,' Iran emerged even stronger. Want to try your luck again? Please. But be careful; we also have unfinished business." He accused Netanyahu of "dragging America into another war to avoid sitting in jail," claiming this was done without regard for the consequences to Israel and the U.S. president.
Mohabbi issued a direct threat in response to the possibility of attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure. He asserted that any damage to infrastructure would be immediately repaired by Iranian professionals and threatened that such an attack would render Israel "until scorched earth." He further threatened to displace its residents into the Sinai desert, adding, "The world will see what happens!"
The threats follow Trump's publication of a letter of support for Netanyahu ahead of elections, in which he claimed Iran had been systematically damaged militarily and economically. "If they do not change their ways quickly, we will soon finish the job," Trump wrote. Netanyahu thanked Trump for his support, emphasizing in his response, "Together we will never allow the Iranian regime to obtain nuclear weapons."
