After Defense Minister Israel Katz made it clear that Israel would not hesitate to launch another campaign if necessary and even threatened the life of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, Tehran was quick to respond today (Wednesday) with a blunt threat against Israel: “Obey or be punished.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi claimed on his X account that “the terms of the memorandum of understanding are completely clear and public,” and sent a stinging jab at Israel: “Trump has committed the U.S. to muzzling its pets in Tel Aviv.”
He later intensified his tone and threatened that if Israel did not listen to Washington, Iran would act itself: “If they ignore their master, Iran will school them,” adding that “any threat to our people and our leadership will receive an immediate and strong response.”
The Iranian response was published alongside Katz’s remarks in a press statement, where he defined Mojtaba Khamenei as “a son of death,” and clarified: “They are good merchants and are trying to squeeze concessions in negotiations. Iran cannot be allowed to produce nuclear weapons. They will reach an agreement – that’s good.”
