Iran’s powerful parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has warned that Tehran will “abandon all restraint” if the United States and Israel attack any of its islands in the Gulf.
“Any aggression against soil of Iranian islands will shatter all restraint. We will abandon all restraint and make the Persian Gulf run with the blood of invaders,” said Ghalibaf in a post on X.
“The blood of American soldiers is Trump’s personal responsibility,” Ghalibaf added.
It was not immediately clear which islands he was referring to, but a recent Axios report cited US officials as saying that capturing Kharg was on the table as the war in the Middle East spirals.
