\nOn Monday, US President Donald Trump, standing alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, threatened to \u201cknock the hell\u201d out of Iran if it tries to rebuild its nuclear or ballistic missile projects.\u00a0
\nIn response, Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani, a senior adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, declared on X that Iran\u2019s defense doctrine dictates that \u201csome responses are determined long before threats reach the stage of execution.\u201d He warned that any aggression would be met with an \u201cimmediate\u201d and \u201charsh\u201d response \u201cbeyond the imagination of its planners.\u201d\u00a0

The verbal exchange comes months after a 12-day air war in June, when the US and Israel conducted a joint airstrike campaign against Iranian nuclear sites, claiming, without evidence, that Tehran was developing a nuclear weapon. Iran denied the accusations and responded with its own strikes on Israel.\u00a0
\nRussia, meanwhile, has called for de-escalation. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Tuesday that Moscow believes it is necessary to \u201crefrain from any steps that could lead to an escalation of tension in the region\u201d and that \u201cdialogue with Iran\u201d should be the priority.\u00a0
\nRussian President Vladimir Putin also held a phone call with Pezeshkian on Tuesday during which the two leaders discussed bilateral ties, strategic cooperation, as well as the situation around Iran\u2019s nuclear program, according to the Kremlin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
