Iran claims Israel, US ‘cannot do a damn thing’ against Tehran

Iran claims US and Israeli threats against it are a blatant violation of international law and boasts that they cannot “do a damn thing” to hurt Tehran.

The comments come after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Jerusalem yesterday and said their countries were determined to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions and its influence in the Middle East.

Netanyahu said Israel had dealt a “mighty blow” to Iran since the start of the war in Gaza and that with the support of US President Donald Trump, “I have no doubt we can and will finish the job.”

Speaking at a weekly press conference, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei responds: “When it comes to a country like Iran, they cannot do a damn thing.”

“You cannot threaten Iran on one hand and claim to support dialogue on the other hand,” Baghaei says according to state media.
