Mohammad Mokhber, an adviser to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, has issued a statement warning against attacks on the country’s infrastructure.

In comments posted on X and addressing the US, he writes, “You calculate with military equations, but we respond with the logic of history. An assault on Iran’s infrastructure directly awakens fault lines upon which 250 years of your hegemony’s architecture has been built.”

He warns, “When the pillars of this system collapse, there will be neither a centre for command nor a market for plunder left.”
