Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian warned Saturday (June 21, 2025) of a “more devastating” retaliation should Israel’s nine-day bombing campaign continue, saying the Islamic republic would not halt its nuclear programme “under any circumstances”.
Israel said on Saturday (June 21, 2025) it had killed three more Iranian commanders in its unprecedented offensive, while Foreign Minister Gideon Saar claimed Tehran’s alleged progress towards a nuclear weapon had been set back by two years.
“We will do everything that we can do there in order to remove this threat,” Mr. Saar told the German newspaper Bild, asserting Israel would keep up its onslaught.
Iran denies seeking an atomic bomb, and on Saturday (June 21, 2025) Mr. Pezeshkian said its right to pursue a civilian nuclear programme “cannot be taken away… by threats or war”.
