Why it matters:
Trump's threats regarding the use of military power contradict international law and can be seen as an illegal action that undermines the sovereignty of nations.
Key points:
- Gharibabadi confirmed on his X account that the letter will document U.S. threats, which violate international law and the UN Charter.
- Massive rallies during the 46th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution were seen as a robust domestic response to Trump’s threats.
- This move comes amid conflicting U.S. signals—while Trump has hinted at preferring negotiations over outright military action, Iran remains resolute in its defense posture.
- The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has warned that any U.S. threats or actions will be met with reciprocal measures.
