Iran dismisses Trump’s heavy attacks threat, warns of possible elimination
The secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, has warned America President Donald Trump to watch out or may be eliminated.
He also dismissed Mr Trump’s threat to destroy Iran beyond repair should the Islamic Republic do anything to halt the flow of oil within the Strait of Hormuz.
Mr Trump, in a post on Truth Social, said “If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far.”
He added, “Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again-Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them-But I hope, and pray that it does not happen!”
Responding to Mr Trump in a post on X on Tuesday, Mr Larijani said, “The Ashura-loving nation of Iran does not fear your paper threats. Even those greater than you could not eliminate the Iranian nation. Watch out for yourself-lest you be eliminated!”
U.S. and Israel continued to attack Iran since February 28, when it launched Operation Epic Fury, killing the country’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Iran officials chose Mojtaba Khamenei as his father’s successor on Monday, a move Mr Trump rejected, warning that any Iranian leader appointed without his approval would not last long in office.
