Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, responded to President Trump's threats, warning that if Trump does not address the Iranian people with respect, Tehran will respond in a 'different language.' The statement adds to the war of words between the US and Iran.
Iran's top security official issued a fresh warning to President Trump on Monday evening, escalating the rhetorical confrontation between Washington and Tehran. Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, said: 'Today you threatened 91 million Iranians. Speak to the Iranian people with respect, otherwise we will respond in a different language.' The statement follows weeks of escalating threats between the two sides. In recent weeks, multiple Iranian officials have issued warnings to the US, including parliament speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf (June 21), military spokesman (June 10), and IRGC spokesman (June 11), as The Zioneer has reported. The US has maintained a military alert posture regarding Iran, with President Trump stating on June 8 that the military is on alert. The exchange has not yet resulted in any direct military confrontation, but the rhetoric continues to intensify.
