Senior Iranian MP Warns Trump to Worry About His Own Security

Ebrahim Azizi, a senior Iranian member of parliament, has issued a stark warning to US President Donald Trump, suggesting that the American leader should be more concerned about his own safety than continuing to threaten Iran over the Strait of Hormuz.

In a post on social media, Azizi wrote, "The president of the United States, instead of continuing his endless threats about the Strait of Hormuz, should be worried about his own security." He added, "Conditions may arise in which he himself is forced to take shelter in a food transport truck to stay safe."

The remarks come amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States over the strategic waterway, through which about a fifth of the world's oil passes. Iran has repeatedly warned that it could close the strait in response to US military interference, and has said that the strait will only reopen when such interference ends.

Azizi's comments reflect a broader pattern of Iranian officials issuing strong rhetoric against the US, particularly regarding the Strait of Hormuz. The strait has been a flashpoint in US-Iran relations for decades, with both sides engaging in shows of force and verbal sparring.

According to Mehr News Agency (MNA), Azizi's statement is part of a series of Iranian warnings over the waterway, which has been closed to shipping under Iranian control. The report did not provide further details on the specific conditions under which the strait might be closed, but it underscored the ongoing standoff between Tehran and Washington.

The warning also comes as the international community watches closely for any escalation that could disrupt global oil supplies. The United States has maintained a naval presence in the region, and any closure of the strait would have significant economic and geopolitical repercussions.

Azizi's social media post is the latest in a string of confrontational statements from Iranian officials, who have consistently pushed back against US threats. The tone of the remarks suggests that Iran is prepared to respond forcefully to any perceived aggression, while also signaling that the US should not underestimate the consequences of its actions.

As of now, there has been no official response from the White House or the US State Department to Azizi's comments. The situation remains tense, with both nations seemingly entrenched in their positions regarding the Strait of Hormuz and broader regional security issues.
