Ebrahim Azizi, chairman of Iran’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, threatened a harsh response to a reported US attack on Larak Island. In two posts on social media platform X, Azizi warned Washington that Iran’s retaliation would be “devastating” and “more painful.”

One of Azizi’s posts was published in Persian and the other in English. In the Persian-language message, he said no level of crime would go unanswered and described the anticipated response as devastating, more painful and instructive.

Azizi also said the response would complete what he called a chain of US failures. He told Washington to wait with fear and anxiety. The source identifies Geo News as the source of the report.
