Amid a massive vacuum in Iranian leadership, one of the country’s top officials is giving President Donald Trump a disturbing warning.
On Monday, Trump took to Truth Social with threats of retaliation should the Strait of Hormuz continue to be blocked.

This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Iranian national security chief Ali Larijani responded to this post on X:

“The Ashura-loving Iranian people do not fear your hollow threats; for those greater than you have failed to erase it… So beware lest you be the ones to vanish,” a translated version of the post reads.
This is the second time in one week that this despicable vermin is threatening @POTUS.
This parasite is essentially the de facto political shot caller of the Islamic Republic regime. He was sanctioned by the US in January 2026 for gross human rights violations. In February… https://t.co/NETh7JMGmB

“This is the second time in one week that this despicable vermin is threatening [Trump],” wrote one Iranian-American X user. “This parasite is essentially the de facto political shot caller of the Islamic Republic regime. He was sanctioned by the US in January 2026 for gross human rights violations. In February 2026, Ali Khamenei appointed him as the regime’s de facto leader. Why is he still wasting oxygen?”
