Iranian official Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf issued severe threats against Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, declaring an "existential war" and promising devastating retaliatory strikes.
Iranian state-aligned media and regional allied channels widely circulated aggressive statements by Iranian official Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf directed at Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu on March 1, 2026. The broadcasts indicate a sharply escalated rhetorical posture, warning of devastating retaliation for an unspecified transgression against Iranian limits.
Crossed Red Lines and Threats of Retaliation According to آخرین خبر, a prominent Iranian state-aligned news aggregator, Ghalibaf issued a direct warning to the two leaders, stating, "You have stepped on our red line and must pay the price for it."The rhetoric was amplified by کانال اخبار سپاه پاسداران 🏴, a channel affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) known for its hardline military stance. The IRGC-linked channel highlighted Ghalibaf's specific threat: "We will strike you such painful blows that you yourselves will fall to begging; you will see." This exact declaration was also prominently featured in a separate dispatch by آخرین خبر.
An "Existential War" Expanding on the gravity of the declarations, گروه انصارالله یمن, a channel aligned with Yemen's Houthi movement and Iran's regional Axis of Resistance, provided a more detailed account of the remarks. The Ansarollah channel quoted Ghalibaf framing the conflict in absolute terms: He declared the situation an "existential war" for Iran. He described the nation's posture as a "suppressed anger whose time for revenge has arrived."The source messages uniformly quote threats from Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf regarding a crossed 'red line', but they do not explicitly detail the specific event or action by Trump and Netanyahu that triggered the remarks. The messaging is highly coordinated across the Iranian state aggregator, the IRGC channel, and the allied Yemeni Ansarollah channel.
