Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has responded to US President Donald Trump's warning that the United States could soon "finish the job" against Iran unless Tehran rapidly changes course.
"Last time you wanted to 'finish the job', Iran emerged even stronger. Want to try your luck again? Be our guest. But be careful; we have unfinished jobs too," Araghchi wrote on X on Sunday. He also accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of driving America into another war to stay out of jail, whatever the consequences for Israel or for the US president.
Araghchi's remarks came hours after Trump gave Netanyahu his "complete and total endorsement" ahead of Israel's 27 October election and said Iran had been "systematically destroyed" militarily and financially. Netanyahu responded by saying that together they would finish the job.
Hossein Mohebbi, a spokesman for Iran's Revolutionary Guards, also warned on Sunday that any attack on Iran's energy infrastructure would be quickly repaired by the country's young scientists, but would, in his words, turn the "occupied territories" into scorched earth forever.
The United States and Israel launched their war on Iran on 28 February. Tension also continues at sea: the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said on Sunday that a tug sailing northeast of Khor Fakkan in the United Arab Emirates was struck by two unknown projectiles, damaging the vessel and leaving one crew member with minor injuries. Iran is Afghanistan's western neighbour and home to tens of thousands of Afghans who live and work there.
