Iran's foreign ministry warned of a direct confrontation and said it would send Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to hell if the United States continues its blockade.
Iran's foreign ministry issued a stark warning, stating that any continuation of the United States' blockade would lead to a direct confrontation with Tehran. The ministry's spokesperson added that Iran would "send Netanyahu to hell" if the pressure persists.
The declaration came amid ongoing tensions over the U.S. restrictions that Iran describes as a blockade of its economic interests. Tehran framed the measures as an infringement on its sovereignty and a catalyst for escalation.
By invoking Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Iran signaled that the dispute could expand beyond bilateral issues with Washington, linking the broader regional conflict to the current standoff.
