Mohammad Mokhber, a senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, was identified Saturday evening as the Iranian official behind a sharp warning to U.S. President Donald Trump. In a statement reported by journalist Sapir Lipkin on N12's the source, Mokhber said Iran operates by 'the logic of history' rather than military equations, and warned that striking Iran's infrastructure would awaken 'geological fractures' on which U.S. hegemony has been built for 250 years, causing the pillars of the system to collapse.
The Zioneer first reported on the warning at 21:18 Jerusalem Saturday, citing an unverified social media report that described an Iranian source warning that striking infrastructure would 'directly awaken the depths on which 250 years of your rule were built.' At that stage, the source was anonymous and the report unconfirmed. In the latest development, the official behind the statement has been identified as Mokhber, with the full text of his remarks carried by N12.
Mokhber is a senior figure in the Iranian leadership, and The Zioneer has previously reported on his statements regarding the US-Iran MOU. On June 20, Mokhber said the U.S. side understands economic language and that energy flow from the Middle East would remain blocked as long as the agreement is unimplemented. Other senior advisors, including Mohsen Rezaei, have also issued threats against the U.S. in recent weeks as tensions remain high.
The statement has been reported by a single outlet, N12, and has not been independently corroborated. It is unclear whether the warning represents an official escalation in rhetoric or a personal assessment by the advisor.
