Iran Taunts 'Gambler Trump' in New Threat to 'Criminal America'![]() Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Iranian armed forces have labeled President Donald Trump a "gambler," warning in English: "Gambler Trump, you can start this war, but we will be the one to end it." Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for Iran's military central command said U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear sites expand the "scope of legitimate and diverse targets" and threatened that Iran will launch "powerful operations with heavy, regretful, and unpredicted consequences." Tehran branded Washington "Criminal America" for "trespassing upon Iran's sacred soil" and accused it of abetting Israel. Newsweek has reached out to the State Department and Iran's foreign ministry for comment. Why It Matters The surprise U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities mark a dramatic escalation in hostilities. Tehran's vow to broaden the scope of its military targets—paired with threats to the Strait of Hormuz, surging oil prices, and looming proxy warfare—has pushed the Middle East to the brink. The fallout could destabilize global markets and imperil regional energy infrastructure.
