Major General Ibrahim Dhu al-Fiqar, spokesman for Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Command, responded to threats from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by stating that Tehran "needs nuclear weapons to stop your madness," according to Shehab Wire. The remarks came as a direct riposte to Netanyahu's recent threats against Iran.
Dhu al-Fiqar's statement marks the latest escalation in military rhetoric between Tehran and Jerusalem over Iran's nuclear capabilities and regional security. The exchange reflects a pattern of intensifying accusations between the two governments at a moment of heightened tensions across the Middle East. Iran has long maintained that its nuclear program serves civilian purposes, while Israel has repeatedly warned against what it describes as Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
