"Your reckless moves are dragging the United States into a living HELL for every single family, and our whole region is going to burn because you insist on following Netanyahu's commands," Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote in an X post in English, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Ghalibaf added that the "only real solution is respecting the rights of the Iranian people and ending this dangerous game".
The statement follows Trump's expletive-laden attack on Iran, in which he renewed his threat to unleash heavy bombing on Iranian power plants and bridges if Tehran refused to unblock the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
Since the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran on February 28, US–Israeli attacks have killed thousands in Iran, while Tehran has retaliated by targeting energy infrastructure and restricting traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, allowing passage only for countries it considers "non-hostile."
