Ebrahim Azizi, the head of Iran's National Security Commission, launched a blistering attack on U.S. President Donald Trump, warning that any future action against Tehran would be met with 'more painful' revenge. In a statement on Saturday, Azizi claimed the United States 'gained nothing' from the recent conflict and is now resorting to threats because it has 'empty hands' and an 'empty track record.'
Azizi's Sharp Critique of US Policy
Azizi argued that the war imposed heavy costs on the United States and created economic problems globally without delivering any meaningful gains for Washington. He emphasized that Iran remains united and prepared to confront any threat, stressing that the country's armed forces and people stood together during the recent conflict.
Threat of Stronger Response
The Iranian lawmaker further warned that any future action against Iran would be met with an even stronger response. In a defiant message, he said, 'You will regret any miscalculation. Our response will be more painful than before.' Azizi's comments come amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States, following a series of military exchanges and diplomatic standoffs.
US 'Empty Handed' Claims Azizi
According to Azizi, the United States is now resorting to threats because it has 'empty hands' and an 'empty track record.' He argued that the war has not only failed to achieve US objectives but has also backfired, causing economic problems globally. Azizi's remarks are seen as an attempt to project strength and unity in the face of US pressure.
Iran's Unity and Preparedness
Azizi stressed that Iran remains united and prepared to confront any threat. He praised the Iranian armed forces and the people for standing together during the recent conflict. The head of Iran's National Security Commission also called on the international community to recognize Iran's resilience and determination to defend its sovereignty.
Context of Rising Tensions
The exchange of threats comes amid a volatile period in US-Iran relations. The United States has imposed severe sanctions on Iran, while Tehran has responded by increasing its nuclear activities and supporting proxy forces in the region. Azizi's warning is likely to further escalate rhetoric between the two nations, raising concerns about a potential military confrontation.
