Iran has issued new threats against Israel, warning of devastating consequences should its energy infrastructure be targeted. Hossein Mohabbi, a representative for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), stated that Tehran's response could turn Israel into a "scorched earth" and force its population to flee en masse, potentially towards the Sinai Peninsula. This warning comes amid heightened rhetoric between Iran, Israel, and the United States.
Tehran is signaling readiness for renewed confrontation following threats from U.S. President Donald Trump to continue his campaign against the Iranian regime. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also issued a warning to Washington and Jerusalem via social media, suggesting Iran has "unfinished business" and is considering new conflict. Araghchi accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of attempting to draw the U.S. into another war with Iran for his own political gain, seeking to increase American pressure on Tehran.
The exchange of threats was triggered by Trump's statements about further actions against Iran if its leadership does not alter its policies. Trump had also publicly supported Netanyahu ahead of the Knesset elections scheduled for October 27, intensifying the political context. Iranian authorities link U.S. support for Israel to the prospect of a new military conflict.
Mohsen Rezaei, a representative of Iran's National Security Council, added that the country's armed forces have prepared a plan for renewed clashes, asserting that the next conflict would be significantly more destructive than previous ones. Rezaei emphasized Iran's military readiness for such a confrontation, signaling Tehran's intent to respond to any expansion of military campaigns against it.
The IRGC specifically highlighted Iran's energy infrastructure, viewing potential strikes on these facilities as grounds for a large-scale response against Israel. This follows reports that Iran's neighbors issued a new ultimatum.
