US : Senator Graham cautions Iran’s Khamenei about his comments against congressmen, saying, “Beware of the drones”
US : In response to remarks made by Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who warned American politicians against what he described as hostile actions toward Iran amid nationwide anti-governmental protests that Tehran claims are “foreign-backed,” US Senator Lindsey Graham has issued a strong warning to Khamenei.
Senator Graham used a caustic and combative tone to speak directly to Khamenei in a post on X.We don’t communicate as often as we once did, Ayatollah. Did I insult you? I’ve heard that Moscow is a winter paradise, in reference to your recent caution to American lawmakers. Watch out for the drones. “Restore Iran’s greatness,” Graham wrote.
“Moscow is a winter wonderland,” the US senator said, alluding to previous claims that the 86-year-old leader had a “escape plan” to flee to Russia if the current countrywide demonstrations worsened.
The senator’s comments followed Ayatollah Khamenei’s previous statement in which the Iranian leader advised US legislators to alter their strategy toward Tehran and said that Iran has shown its resilience in the face of outside pressure.In the face of the adversaries, the great Iranian nation has reaffirmed its identity and determination. According to Khamenei, this served as a message to American politicians to quit acting dishonestly and to stop depending on their disloyal hirelings.
Increased tensions between Washington and Tehran are reflected in the conversation, especially as US politicians continue to condemn Iran for the recent statewide anti-government demonstrations sparked by rising inflation, economic hardship, and growing popular discontent with governance.
Graham had already warned Iran’s Supreme Leader that if Iranian officials continue to murder or hurt protestors, US President Donald Trump may take deadly measures.
In addition, he called Khamenei a “religious Nazi who terrorizes the world and kills his own people.” In an interview with Fox News, he said these things.
According to the Human Rights Activist News Agency’s most current verifiable statistics, 646 individuals have died as a result of the demonstrations so far. Nine children are among the 505 protesters who have died, along with 133 Iranian military and security personnel, one prosecutor, and seven citizens who did not participate in the protests.
Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, said that there was unmistakable proof “linking this deadly violence to Mossad terrorists,” according to Press TV.
In reference to a post on X on January 2, former US State Secretary and CIA Director Mike Pompeo said, “The Iranian regime is in trouble.” Its final resort is to hire mercenaries. There have been riots in several places, including Mashhad, Tehran, and Zahedan, and the Basij is under siege. Baluchistan is the next stop. “Coincidence?” “47 years of this regime; POTUS 47.”To all the Iranians on the streets, happy New Year. Additionally, to each Mossad agent strolling with them,” he said in his article.
His mention of a “Mossad agent walking beside” the demonstrators has raised concerns that the anti-government uprising may be supported by foreign powers, especially the United States and Israel, in an attempt to topple the Khamenei administration, which has ruled since 1979.
