Iran's leader threatens 'even bigger blow' against US, Trump says he's in ‘no rush’ to talk
Share this @internewscast.com

The Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, made a fresh threat against the United States and referred to Israel as “its dog on a leash” amid ongoing calls for nuclear negotiations and potential sanctions. 

Khamenei expressed admiration for Iran’s readiness to confront the United States and its ally, the “Zionist regime,” as translated by Reuters for Iranian state TV. 

He further alleged that the attack on the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar last month was merely a precursor to what Iran could unleash upon Washington, warning of a potentially more severe assault on the U.S. and its associates.

“This is especially true at shorter distances since Iran’s single-stage solid fuel short-range ballistic are much more precise,” Ben Taleblu, senior director of the FDD’s Iran program, said. “This means that in another iteration of an Israel-Iran-America conflict, the chances of retaliatory strike on U.S. regional bases remains high.” 

Khamenei’s threats followed similar warnings by other top Iranian officials as western nations mull reinforcing snapback sanctions if Washington is unable to make headway on nuclear negotiations “by the end of the summer.” 

President Donald Trump has said he is committed to continuing talks with Iran to avoid further military action, but on Tuesday evening, he told reporters he’s “in no rush to talk” despite the ever-looming deadline for when a deal needs to be reached. 

Security experts have told Fox News Digital that snapback sanctions pose their own risk as the measure could prompt Iran to withdraw from the world’s largest nuclear agreement – the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, which some 190 nations have signed on to.

“A sustainable and verifiable diplomatic solution that addresses the security interests of the international community is essential,” the German Foreign Ministry confirmed for Fox News Digital this week. “If such a solution is not achieved by the end of the summer, the snapback mechanism will remain an option for the E3.

“We continue to coordinate closely with our E3 partners on this issue,” the ministry added in reference to the European nations that signed the 2015 nuclear agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which are France, Germany and the U.K.
