Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf posted on X on Sunday evening, warning the United States to be cautious with its statements and asserting that 'our forces are ready to respond.' The message comes after recent threats by U.S. President Donald Trump targeting Iran.
Ghalibaf's post follows a similar statement made minutes earlier by the same official, as reported in an earlier bulletin by The Zioneer (published at 19:20 Jerusalem). The back-to-back postings suggest an orchestrated rhetorical escalation from Tehran.
The warning is part of a broader pattern of escalating exchanges between Washington and Tehran: earlier this month, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian described Trump's threats as 'a sign of desperation'; Iran's negotiating team head had also threatened to turn a naval blockade into 'defeat' for the enemy; and multiple Iranian officials have warned of a 'crushing blow' or 'decisive military response' in case of U.S. violations. Ghalibaf himself previously said 'whoever opens fire will bear the consequences.'
The current post, attributed to the foreign-affairs desk, has not been independently corroborated by other sources as of this writing. The Zioneer classifies this as Developing pending further verification.
