image sourced from original article at Tensions in the Middle East have escalated after senior Iranian official Ali Larijani warned that United States President Donald Trump 'has to pay' for the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader. In remarks to Mehr News Agency, Larijani said Iran's retaliation would be continuous and signaled that further action could follow.
Larijani insisted that Iran's missile stockpiles remain fully operational despite ongoing strikes and accused Washington of attempting to destabilize the country through targeted assassinations of its leadership. He framed the confrontation as a deliberate effort to create internal chaos.
The warning came after Trump said Iran was 'being beaten to hell' and threatened additional strikes if Tehran escalates. The sharp exchange underscores a rapidly intensifying standoff involving Iran, the United States, and Israel.
