Iran speaker brands US, Israel chiefs filthy criminals, warns of retaliation
Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, labeled the leaders of the United States and Israel as "filthy criminals" during a televised speech on Sunday. He warned that they would experience "devastating blows" for their continuous attacks on Iran. Qalibaf is the highest-ranking Iranian official to speak publicly since the attacks started on Saturday. He stated, "You have crossed our red line and must pay the price," and added, "We will deliver such devastating blows that you yourselves will be driven to beg."
