Iran warns of strict response to any US attack after Trump’s threats

By Newsdesk December 30, 2025 World News / International

Tehran: Iran has warned that it will respond forcefully to any potential attack following renewed threats by US President Donald Trump.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that Tehran’s response to any act of aggression would be “very severe.” In a statement posted on X, he stressed that Iran would react strongly to any illegitimate aggression.

Iran’s parliament also reaffirmed the country’s right to self-defense. Speaker of Parliament Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf said Iran does not need permission from anyone to defend itself, warning that the Iranian nation’s response to any adventurism would be unpredictable.

The strong statements come after Donald Trump, during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said he would support renewed attacks on Iran if it resumes its nuclear program.

Speaking to reporters in Florida after the meeting, Trump claimed that Iran was attempting to rebuild its nuclear facilities and said that immediate strikes should be carried out if Tehran continued nuclear construction.

Trump further stated that if Iran rebuilds its nuclear program, “we will have to take it down,” escalating rhetoric amid already heightened regional tensions.
