Iranian media warned the US and Israel not to threaten Iran with force today, after US President Joe Biden said he would use force as a last resort to prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
“The Americans and the Zionists (Israel) know very well the cost of using the word ‘force against Iran’,” Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, spokesman for the Iranian Armed Forces, told state media.
“Biden must have been sleepy when he was threatening Iran,” he said, adding, “Be careful with your soldiers’ trousers – they can get wet in the Persian Gulf!”
When asked on Israeli television this week whether Tehran’s previous statements that it would prevent it from obtaining nuclear weapons meant it would use force against Iran, Biden replied, “Yes, if that were the last resort.”
On Thursday, Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid signed a joint commitment to stop Iran’s nuclear weapons; This is a clear move by Israel to fulfill calls for a “credible military threat” from world powers.
Iran denies pursuing nuclear weapons, saying its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
