Mahmoud Nabavian, an Iranian Member of Parliament and part of Iran's negotiation delegation, issued a stark warning on Friday regarding potential consequences for Gulf rulers if Iran's leadership were attacked. He stated that any assassination of Iranian leaders would result in direct retaliation against those he described as 'complicit' rulers in the Persian Gulf, with threats to destroy their palaces. Nabavian's remarks, shared on social media by Seyed Mohammad Marandi, a professor at the University of Tehran, highlighted that no Arab ruler would remain 'unscathed' in such a scenario. He urged regional governments to take the threat seriously and to prevent military activities within their territories. This warning comes amid ongoing tensions and stalled negotiations between the United States and Iran, which remain in a fragile ceasefire after initial talks failed to yield significant progress.
