Tuesday, April 7, 2026-Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, issued a stark warning that recent threats from Donald Trump could push the Middle East into chaos, declaring that the “whole region is going to burn” if tensions continue to escalate.
Ghalibaf emphasized that Washington’s aggressive posture, including threats targeting key infrastructure, risks drawing neighboring countries into a broader and more destructive conflict.
The warning comes after Trump reiterated ultimatums linking Iran’s compliance — including reopening the strategic Strait of Hormuz — to possible military strikes on bridges, power plants, and other critical sites.
Tehran’s leaders condemned the rhetoric as reckless and dangerous, framing it as a potential precursor to widescale violence if diplomatic avenues are not pursued.
On the ground, the tense standoff is accompanied by real military activity, with strikes and counter‑strikes reported across the region.
Iranian authorities have pledged to respond if their infrastructure is targeted, while nationwide calls for resistance, including symbolic actions around energy facilities, have been reported. Analysts warn that this cycle of threats and retaliatory actions could escalate instability far beyond Iran’s borders.
