- Rezaei said any action by Trump would trigger an “earthquake-like” confrontation, while participation by neighbouring states would lead Iran to halt oil exports through the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz and target other routes.
- Trump has promised unprecedented economic warfare and the “toughest sanctions in history” against Iran, while Tehran has described the threat as economic terrorism.
- Two US Air Force KC-135 tanker aircraft left Bulgaria’s Bezmer air base on Friday after Iran called their deployment possible complicity in aggression and war crimes, a charge Sofia rejected.
- Chile will close its embassy in Iran by the end of August but will maintain diplomatic relations with Tehran, the foreign ministry said.
Should Trump take action, our confrontation will be like an earthquake.— Mohsen Rezaei, Iran's security chief, warning of earthquake-like retaliation if President Trump takes further action.
