An Iranian member of parliament issued a sharp warning to the United States following recent airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, saying that President Donald Trump should “order mass production" of “coffins" for American forces.
Qasem Ravanbakhsh, a representative from Iran’s Qom province, vowed retaliation against what he called the “terrorist forces of America."
“Trump should order mass production from coffin-making companies as soon as possible to transfer the bodies of American military personnel stationed in the region," said Ravanbakhsh.
It comes after Trump’s announcement on Sunday, in which he confirmed via Truth Social that US forces had launched targeted strikes on three major Iranian nuclear sites.
In a brief national address, Trump claimed the operation had “obliterated" Iran’s nuclear enrichment infrastructure and thwarted its alleged efforts to develop nuclear weapons.
Ravanbakhsh, however, rejected Trump’s claim, specifically disputing the extent of damage inflicted on the underground Fordow facility, believed to be a key site for uranium enrichment.
Speaking to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency, he said, “The damage to the Fordow facilities is not as great as the American media and the criminal Trump are saying, and the underground facilities have not been damaged."
He further stated that the international community “should be confident" that Iran’s “nuclear knowledge" remains intact and “cannot be destroyed by these crimes."
Ravanbakhsh’s remarks came shortly after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also condemned the US airstrikes, labelling them as criminal acts and war crimes.
Araghchi warned that the United States would face “everlasting consequences" for its actions.
Meanwhile, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in a statement broadcast on state television, warned the United States to “expect regrettable responses" following its strikes on Tehran’s nuclear facilities.
