Iranian parliamentary spokesman Ebrahim Rezaei issued a sharp warning to the United States following a threat from former US President Donald Trump to attack Iran’s Kharg Island. In a post on his X account, Rezaei declared that not a single American soldier would return alive if such an assault occurred. His remarks came after Trump made the threat during a NATO summit held in Ankara, Turkey.

Rezaei, who serves as the spokesperson for Iran’s parliamentary committee on foreign policy and national security, directly challenged the US military, stating that Iran was ready and waiting. The exchange follows a period of heightened tension between Washington and Tehran, which analysts believe could worsen after these latest statements.

Observers cited in the report suggested that Rezaei’s strong response to Trump’s aggressive comments may further inflame the ongoing disputes between the two nations, adding to an already volatile regional situation.
