00:15A chilling warning has emerged from Iran's leadership.
00:19In a message that quickly spread across social media and global news outlets,
00:24a top Iranian official issued a direct warning to U.S. President Donald Trump.
00:30The message was blunt.
00:31Be careful not to get eliminated yourself.
00:35The statement has intensified already soaring tensions
00:38as the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran continues to escalate.
00:44The warning came from Ali Larijani,
00:47Iran's secretary of the Supreme National Security Council
00:50and one of the most powerful figures currently shaping Iran's response to the war.
00:56Posting on X, Larijani responded to recent threats made by Donald Trump
01:01regarding Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz.
01:05Trump had earlier warned that if Iran disrupted global oil shipments through the Strait,
01:10the United States would respond with overwhelming force.
01:14In a message posted on Truth Social,
01:17Trump said the U.S. would hit Iran 20 times harder,
01:21warning that death, fire, and fury will rain upon them.
01:25Larijani fired back with a sharply worded response directed personally at Trump.
01:30In his message, he said,
01:46The remark was widely interpreted as a direct warning aimed at Trump personally,
01:51rather than just a general statement about the conflict.
01:54multiple international media outlets quickly reported on the exchange,
01:59highlighting the unusually personal tone.
02:02The heated rhetoric comes during one of the most dangerous escalations in the region in years.
02:08The current conflict began in late February 2026,
02:12when U.S. and Israeli forces launched coordinated strikes
02:16on Iranian nuclear and military targets.
02:19Those attacks reportedly killed Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Kemeni
02:25and several senior military commanders.
02:27Iran has since responded with waves of missiles,
02:31drones, and disruptions to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,
02:34sending global oil prices surging.
02:37Since Kemeni's death,
02:39Ali Larijani has emerged as one of the most prominent voices inside Iran's leadership.
02:44He has repeatedly vowed retaliation against the United States and Israel.
02:49In previous statements,
02:51he declared that Iran would not leave Trump alone,
02:54and that the U.S. president must pay the price for the attacks that killed Iran's top leader.
03:00Trump has dismissed the warning.
03:02In a recent interview, he said he had no idea who Larijani is,
03:07and claimed the Iranian leadership was already defeated.
03:11Trump has also doubled down on his demands,
03:14calling for Iran's unconditional surrender,
03:16and signaling that military operations will continue.
03:20With missile strikes, drone attacks,
03:22and political threats escalating on both sides,
03:25the conflict is entering an increasingly dangerous face.
03:29Global markets are already reacting,
03:32especially with concerns about the Strait of Hormuz,
03:35a vital route for the world's oil supply.
03:37Diplomatic channels appear frozen,
03:40and both sides are showing little sign of backing down.
