Iran vows response
Iranian Revolutionary Guards spokesman Hossein Mohebi threatened that any attack on Iran’s energy infrastructure would prompt a harsh response against Israel.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned the United States and Israel that previous attempts to “finish the job” against the Islamic Republic only left Iran stronger, and he wrote on X that “Last time you wanted to ‘finish the job,’ Iran emerged even stronger.”
Araghchi added that he was telling the United States and Israel to “Want to try your luck again? Be our guest. But be careful; we have unfinished jobs too.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to bring down the Islamic Republic and said he had instructed Israel's security agencies to pursue that goal and was prepared to act without US approval if necessary.
Trump, Netanyahu, Araghchi
US President Donald Trump warned the United States could “soon finish the job” against Iran unless Tehran changes course, while giving Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu his “complete and total endorsement” for re-election. Araghchi responded to Trump’s threat to “finish the job” against Iran by warning that Tehran also had “unfinished jobs.”
Mehrdad Akhlaghi Ketabchi said Trump should focus on getting US personnel out of the region safely, adding that any new US strike would bring a broad and unexpected Iranian response. Netanyahu left open the possibility of further military action against Iran, likening the Islamic Republic to cancer and warning that the threat would return unless it was removed.
Energy sites and missiles
Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, a senior adviser to the IRGC commander-in-chief, said that should the enemy make any miscalculation against Iran, the “father of Iranian missiles” is ready to pummel its energy infrastructure and investments across the region. Naqdi told the “Sacrifice for Iran” campaign in the northern city of Sari that “In case of any miscalculation, all infrastructure platforms and energy investments belonging to the aggressors in the region will be within operational range.”
Naqdi also said the IRGC commander had warned that Trump’s threats amount to an “open admission of defeat” against the Iranian people. PressTV reported that a spokesman for the IRGC, Brigadier General Hossein Mohebi, said only a “barbaric civilization” would use the word “Mother” for its heaviest bomb.
