Iran Warns Trump of Stronger Response Following Threats to Iranian People
Mohammad Baqer Dovlatabadi, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, responded sharply to President Donald Trump's recent threats against Iran's population. Addressing Trump, Dovlatabadi referenced past similar rhetoric aimed at erasing Iranian civilization, noting that such threats previously resulted only in failure, helplessness, and ultimately led the U.S. to seek negotiations and ceasefires.
Dovlatabadi emphasized that the Iranian people are undeterred by threats and urged the U.S. president to speak respectfully to Iran. He warned that if respect is not shown, Iran will respond "in a different language," implying a stronger or alternative form of retaliation.
This exchange highlights the ongoing tension between the U.S. and Iran, with Iran rejecting intimidation and signaling readiness to escalate if provoked. The statement came amid heightened rhetoric and confrontations between the two nations, underscoring the fragile state of their relations.
