Ebrahim Azizi, a member of Iran's Shura Council (National Security and Foreign Policy Committee), issued a statement on Friday evening vowing a "strong response that will shake the Zionist entity," according to a report circulated in Israeli media. The threat lands as the latest in a sequence of escalating Iranian rhetoric tracked by The Zioneer throughout the evening.
The first report, at 19:15 Jerusalem, cited a single source stating that Iranian officials were briefing that a powerful response to Israel and the United States was imminent. Minutes later, at the same timestamp of 19:15, a second thread item identified Azizi by name as the parliamentary security chief making the threat. In that version, Azizi linked the vow to an Israeli strike in Dahieh, Beirut, asserting that the attack proved the U.S. is "weak without credibility." The current update refines Azizi's institutional role and reiterates the promise without specifying the nature, scope, or timing of the response.
As The Zioneer reported on June 10, Azizi previously warned of a "global escalation" and claimed high U.S. casualties, framing the conflict as no longer limited to the region. The broader backdrop, covered by the desk this week, includes reports that the White House is accelerating a US-Iran framework with a potential signing as early as Sunday, a Middle East summit in France scheduled for Tuesday, and Prime Minister Netanyahu's reported concerns over being sidelined from the process.
The latest statement did not elaborate on what form or when a response might come. It remains one of several hardline signals from Tehran, and no independent confirmation of operational plans has emerged.
