Iranian Deputy Parliament Speaker Ali Nikzad threatened the United States, saying it must leave the region before suffering a 'harsher defeat,' and vowed that Iran will not give up 'blood revenge' for the attack on an Iranian ship in the Caspian Sea, which Tehran blames on Ukraine. The threat, reported by the source monitoring Iranian media, follows an earlier statement by Nikzad at 14:26 Jerusalem warning Ukraine.
Iranian Deputy Parliament Speaker Ali Nikzad escalated his rhetoric on Sunday, threatening the United States directly and vowing 'blood revenge' for the attack on an Iranian ship in the Caspian Sea. According to a report by the source '301 העולם הערבי בטלגרם,' which monitors Arabic and Iranian media, Nikzad said the attack 'will not remain unanswered' and warned that the United States must leave the region before suffering a 'harsher defeat.' He emphasized that Iran 'will not give up blood revenge.'
The statement expands on an earlier threat by Nikzad at 14:26 Jerusalem, in which he specifically warned Ukraine, accusing it of carrying out the attack on the Iranian ship. The earlier statement, as reported by The Zioneer, also cautioned European governments, particularly the UK, Bulgaria, and Ukraine, against becoming tools of the United States.
The new threat introduces a direct US dimension and a commitment to 'blood revenge,' language that signals a hardening of Iran's posture. The ship attack itself remains unconfirmed by independent sources, and the details of the incident are not yet fully verified. The single-source report from the source means the claim is at the Developing confidence level, pending corroboration from official Iranian outlets or other media.
