Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, issued a strong warning to the United States on Sunday evening, October 18, 2026, in response to President Donald Trump's threat to "finish the job" against Tehran. Araghchi suggested on social media that Washington should "try its luck again" but cautioned that Iran would deliver a decisive response and has "unfinished jobs" of its own. He asserted that past pressure tactics had only made Iran stronger.
Concurrently, Araghchi accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of deliberately attempting to drag the United States into a new conflict with Iran. The Iranian minister claimed Netanyahu's actions were motivated by a desire to avoid imprisonment, regardless of the potential consequences for Israel or the U.S. president.
