Ebrahim Azizi, the head of the Iranian parliament’s national security commission, issued a series of public warnings directed at the United States following reported U.S. military strikes against Iranian launchers located on Larak Island. In a post on the social media platform X, Azizi stated, "Test our will once more, and pay a heavier price. Retaliation is coming; JUST RUN!"

In addition to these English-language remarks, Azizi issued earlier statements in Persian asserting that no military action against Iran would go unanswered. He characterized the potential Iranian response as "devastating, more painful, and instructive," while further urging U.S. forces to "wait in fear and terror."

These statements represent a significant escalation in rhetoric from Iranian officials regarding the ongoing tensions between the two nations. While the lawmaker’s comments are explicit in their intent to threaten, the report from Middle East Eye does not provide details regarding the specific U.S. military justification for the strikes on Larak Island, nor does it include a response or statement from U.S. officials regarding the lawmaker's threats. The report focuses exclusively on the Iranian perspective and the specific language used by Azizi to convey his warning.
