Iran: Ghalibaf threatens Trump

Iranian parliament chairman Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that in case of an attack, Iran would give Donald Trump a lesson he would never forget. According to Ghalibaf, the response would be massive and unnecessary for the American politician, but specific measures have not been disclosed. This statement has gained resonance in international media, as it intensifies tensions in relations between Iran and the United States.

Ghalibaf noted that decisions regarding any military or diplomatic strategy would be made jointly with other state institutions. He emphasized that Iran's readiness to respond is considered an expression of national security, although diplomatic communication is not ruled out. Responses from international agencies have not yet followed, but relevant diplomatic channels are actively discussing possible ways to de-escalate the conflict.
