- The warning came from Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and a close aide to Khamenei.
- U.S. President Donald Trump must face consequences for his actions that led to the death of Iran's leader according to Larijani. He shared this message on the social media platform X and said Iran would seek revenge for the incident.
Warning of Retaliation
- The leader of Iran will receive his revenge because of his murder and the subsequent killings of others according to Larijani. The situation demands an immediate response because it constitutes a major threat according to him.
- The Iranian government will continue its operations until all attackers have been brought to justice according to his statement. The country will hold Trump accountable for his role in the attack according to his statements.
Claims About Captured U.S. Soldiers
- Larijani asserted that Iranian military forces had taken multiple American soldiers as prisoners during the conflict. He said those soldiers were being held in Iranian prisons.
- The United States supplied false casualty reports according to Larijani. He claimed that the actual death toll exceeded six soldiers despite the U.S. government announcement of six American soldier deaths. He alleged that some deaths were later reported as accidents or unrelated incidents.
Ongoing Conflict in the Region
- Iran continues its military operations against the United States and Israel according to Larijani. The conflict started when U.S. and Israeli forces conducted strikes that killed Khamenei, which ignited a larger Middle Eastern conflict.
- During the discussion, he also mentioned the case of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Larijani said the United States had expected a quick outcome in Iran similar to events in Venezuela, but he argued that the situation had developed differently.
U.S. Response
- The United States rejected Larijani’s claims about captured American soldiers. A spokesperson for United States Central Command (CENTCOM) said the statements were false and described them as misinformation from the Iranian government.
- Meanwhile, Trump dismissed the threats and said he was not concerned about Larijani’s remarks.
