The spokesperson for the Iranian parliament's security committee said Saturday that the notion that Israel and the US could deliver a 'fatal blow' to Iran during the two-day stock exchange closure is an 'illusion' that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu whispered to President Donald Trump, according to a statement.
The statement follows a pattern of confrontational remarks by Iranian parliamentary officials. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar statements from the same committee's spokesperson, Ebrahim Rezaee, including a July 9 warning that Iran would deliver a 'severe blow' and a June 12 accusation that the Trump administration was attempting to deceive Iran. The remarks come amid ongoing U.S.-Iran diplomatic efforts, with President Trump reportedly pushing for a nuclear deal. The current statement dismisses the possibility of an Israeli strike timed to coincide with the Tehran stock exchange's weekend closure, calling it an illusion whispered by Netanyahu to Trump.
