Mohammad Mokhber, senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, responded to President Trump's threats by stating that Iran does not calculate by military equations but by the logic of history. He warned that attacking Iran's infrastructure would awaken 'geological fractures' on which US hegemony has been built for 250 years, causing the collapse of command and control and the 'market for plunder,' according to a statement reported by N12.
Mohammad Mokhber, senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, issued a stark warning to President Donald Trump on Saturday evening, reported by N12 at 21:18 Jerusalem time. Mokhber stated that Iran operates by 'the logic of history' rather than military equations, and warned that attacking Iranian infrastructure would awaken 'geological fractures' on which U.S. hegemony has been built for 250 years, leading to the collapse of command centers and the 'market for plunder.'
The warning first surfaced in an unverified social media report attributed to an anonymous Iranian source, which similarly threatened to 'awaken the depths of 250 years of your rule.' The statement was subsequently confirmed by N12 journalist Sapir Lipkin, identifying Mokhber as the source.
This is the latest in a series of rhetorical exchanges between Tehran and Washington. Mokhber previously warned on June 20 that energy flow from the Middle East would remain blocked as long as the US-Iran agreement remained unimplemented, as The Zioneer reported. Other senior Iranian officials have also issued threats in recent weeks: military advisor Mohsen Rezaei warned on June 11 that Iranian missiles would 'sink Trump deeper,' and security council secretary Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr on July 6 demanded that Trump speak with respect or face a 'different language.' The broader context includes a reported Iranian missile barrage against Israel and an IDF strike in Beirut, as The Zioneer reported on June 8.
The warning remains rhetorical for now; diplomatic channels between Washington and Tehran are still open, and the actual Iranian response to any potential US strike remains uncertain. The statement underscores the deep mistrust between the two capitals.
