Iranian officials, including Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, emphasized that any attack on Iranian infrastructure would be met wiht retaliation, and threats against Israeli targets have been voiced. Meanwhile,Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated readiness to attack Iran again with greater force if necessary. The U.S. has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-mq-9-drone-shot-down-by-yemens-houthi-rebels-officials-claim\/\" title=\"Yemen&#039;s Houthi rebels claim responsibility for shooting down U.S. MQ-9 drone.\">conducted retaliatory strikes<\/a> against Iran after its forces attacked ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump, expressing frustration with negotiations, declared he does not want a deal with Iran and highlighted that Iran has asked to resume talks but he has rejected them, asserting that the ceasefire is over. Additionally, Israel has shared intelligence warning of a heightened risk to Trump\u2019s safety, and he publicly acknowledged being a primary target for Iranian assassination plots. Recent unspecified strikes in Iran\u2019s provinces have been responded to by Iran with attacks on neighboring countries. The situation continues to escalate amid threats and military actions from both sides.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\">Islamic Republic of Iran<\/a> is prepared to drag <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"219\">Israel<\/a> back into the fray if the United States continues its strikes following the collapse of the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >latest ill-fated ceasefire<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secretary of the Supreme National Council Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr made the warning via state media on Friday after President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> repeatedly stated the memorandum of understanding with Tehran was <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/4642113\/trump-reconciliation-push-iran-ceasefire-collapse\/\">violated by Iranian attacks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4643575\/one-of-spain-deadliest-wildfires-killed-many-others-missing\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>One of Spain\u2019s deadliest wildfires has killed at least 12 people, with 23 others missing<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4642944\/israel-us-strikes-iran\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Israel stays out of US strikes on Iran \u2014 for now<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4642882\/iran-banners-we-will-kill-trump-ali-khamenei-funeral\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Iranians wave banners reading \u2018WE WILL KILL TRUMP\u2019 at Ali Khamenei\u2019s funeral<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs we have already announced, any attack on infrastructure will be retaliated against, and the criminal Zionist regime responsible for these atrocities will not be spared from the response of our fighters,\u201d\u00a0Zolghadr said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\">Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr attends the inauguration ceremony of the 6th term of the Assembly of Experts in Tehran, Iran, May 21, 2024.
