Iranian leadership issued laughable threats against President Donald Trump Tuesday, warning that he could be “eliminated” as explosions rocked Tehran and the regime’s battered military struggled to mount a fight after 11 days of bombings.

Ali Larijani, a senior Iranian security official, delivered a warning in a post on social media platform X that was meant to sound bold.

“Iran doesn’t fear your empty threats,” Larijani wrote in a posttranslated bythe Associated Press. “Even those bigger than you couldn’t eliminate Iran.”

Then he added a warning aimed directly at Trump.

“Be careful not to get eliminated yourself.”

الشعب الإيراني العاشورائي لا يخشى تهديداتكم الجوفاء؛فقد عجز الأكبر منكم عن محوه…فاحذروا أن تكونوا أنتم من يزول.pic.twitter.com/dmxd4kKTmi

Larijani’s was the sort of statement the world has come to expect from Iran over the years and decades.

Leaders in the country routinely issue dramatic threats, but the context of his was very different.

Explosions have rocked Tehran for nearly two weeks in what should be a sign to the regime that, instead of Obama-era pallets of cash from the White House, military aircraft will continue delivering ordnance designed to kill them.
