Iran condemns Trump threats as preparation for attacks on civilians

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi described recent threats by the President of the United States as “a prelude to escalating inhumane attacks against civilians and committing massacres.”

Araghchi stressed that Trump and anyone involved in these operations bear “individual criminal responsibility,” calling on the United Nations and the Security Council to intervene immediately to halt what he described as “war crimes.”

Calls for compensation and international accountability

Araghchi affirmed that the US administration “is obligated to provide full compensation” for damages resulting from ongoing violations against Iran and its citizens.

This statement followed Trump’s remarks to ABC News claiming that Iran’s new Supreme Leader would not continue without “American approval,” which Tehran viewed as a blatant violation of sovereignty and international humanitarian law.

Contradictory narratives amid escalating tensions

The verbal conflict has intensified alongside military confrontations. The White House announced:

• The Iranian navy has been entirely neutralized, with attacks reduced by 90%.
• The continuation of Iran’s leadership depends on US approval.

In response, Iran’s armed forces announced the destruction of four THAAD radar systems, aiming to neutralize US technological superiority.

Domestic stability holds

Despite movements by separatist groups, which security officials described as “limited,” Iran reported stability on its internal front.
