Iran’s envoy to the UN, Amir-Saeid Iravani, warned that if Trump attacks: “Iran will not stand idle in the face of such egregious war crimes. It will exercise, without hesitation, its inherent right of self-defense and will take immediate and proportionate reciprocal measures.”
This, after the U.S. president declared that: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” if Tehran doesn’t make a deal with Washington by 8 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday.
International Relations and Security Analyst Mark Sleboda noted that “the fate of U.S. hegemony is a stake” in the next 24 hours, as the Trump Admin decides whether to severely escalate this war, to their detriment, or to pull back and acknowledge reality. As it is clearer than ever that Iran holds the cards, and its resistance is making it even more of a global power.
