Trump’s ‘reckless’ moves will drag US into ‘living hell’: Qalibaf

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has warned that US President Donald Trump’s “reckless” moves would have broad adverse consequences for the United States and the whole West Asia region.

In a post on his X account on Sunday, Qalibaf also issued a stern warning against the US president’s obedience to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s commands.

“Your reckless moves are dragging the United States into a living HELL for every single family, and our whole region is going to burn because you insist on following Netanyahu’s commands,” he said.

He cautioned Trump against any miscalculation against Iran as he would fail to “gain anything through war crimes”.

The top Iranian parliamentarian emphasized the need to respect the rights of the Iranian people and end the “dangerous game” as the real solutions to the ongoing conflicts.

Qalibaf’s post comes after Trump renewed his threat to unleash “hell” on Iran if it continues to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed, saying the US will destroy the country’s power plants and bridges.

The US president wrote that Tuesday is the day of attacks on power plants and bridges across Iran, which he said all would be “wrapped up in one.”

Iran has intensified its restrictions on the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing US-Israeli war against the country.

Iranian authorities have indicated that the world's vital energy lifeline, through which nearly one-fifth of global oil passed before the war, remains open to everyone except to ships tied to the US, Israel and their allies.

The restrictions have led to a significant rise in global energy and commodity prices, with experts suggesting that the impact could escalate to historic levels if the confrontation continues.

Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, warned on Sunday that global energy flows and international trade will be further disrupted with "a single move" in the event of a foolish mistake by the United States and Israel.

“If the White House dares to repeat its foolish mistakes, it will soon realize that the flow of global energy and trade can be disrupted with a single move,” Velayati warned.
