TEHRAN WARNINGS ESCALATE AS LARIJANI RESPONDS TO TRUMP’S WAR CLAIMS

Tensions between Tehran and Washington have intensified after Ali Larijani issued a stark warning to former U.S. President Donald Trump, declaring that Iran will not back down until the United States acknowledges its actions and faces the consequences.According to reports from the Tehran Times, Larijani posted on X (formerly Twitter) in response to Trump’s remarks suggesting that the United States could quickly win a war with Iran. He emphasized that starting a war may be easy, but ending it cannot be done with a few tweets.Larijani also refuted Trump’s claim that the U.S. could disable Iran’s power grid within an hour, warning that such a move could trigger chaos far beyond Iran’s borders. He wrote, “If he does, the entire region will be plunged into darkness within half an hour, providing a good opportunity to hunt down fleeing American soldiers in the region.”The exchange highlights the growing hostility between the two countries, which is unfolding both on the ground and online. Analysts warn that the increasingly sharp rhetoric could make diplomatic solutions even more difficult as tensions continue to rise.
