Tehran issued a frightening warning to Donald Trump after the American leader's statement that the new supreme leader would not last long if he did not receive US permission. It is reported by the British radio station LBC.
Trump's threat was made after the appointment of his 56-year-old son Mojtaba Khamenei, whom the American leader is dissatisfied with, as the successor of the murdered Ali Khamenei.
In addition, Trump called on Iran to prepare for "death, fire and fury" for the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which led to a sharp jump in world gas and oil prices.
The head of Iran's National Security Committee, Ali Larijani, said in response to Trump's threats that the country's authorities "are not afraid of your empty threats."
"Even those who are stronger than you would not be able to destroy the Iranian nation. Take care of yourself — otherwise you will be destroyed!" — added Larijani.
As reported, President Donald Trump warned that the new leader of Iran must receive US approval for the appointment. He stated this to ABC News, according to the British The Guardian.
"He will have to get approval from us. If he doesn't get approval from us, he won't last long," Trump said.
