A senior Ukrainian official, responding to the Iranian foreign minister's threat, said that any Iranian military action against Ukraine would be met with a response at least 50 times larger, targeting Tehran. The official warned that Iran and the Russian axis are dangerous to the world, according to a Telegram report.
A senior Ukrainian official, whose name was not disclosed, responded Sunday evening to the Iranian foreign minister's earlier threat, warning that any Iranian military action against Ukraine would be met with massive retaliation. The official said: 'Tehran is confident behind its words? On one hand they say they want real dialogue, on the other hand they issue threats of military attack against us. What did we learn from this? Iran and the Russian axis are dangerous to the entire world. Any action Iran takes against Kyiv – it will get at least 50 times its worth in the heart of Tehran. The Iranian regime should think carefully before its next step.'
The statement comes an hour after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that 'Ukraine's steps will not go unanswered,' as reported by The Zioneer at 19:28 Jerusalem. The exchange follows a series of escalating rhetoric between Tehran and Kyiv, set against a backdrop of heightened tensions between Iran and Israel.
The Ukrainian official's comments were reported by the source, and have not been independently verified. The Iranian foreign ministry has not yet responded to the latest statement.
