Iranian TV Host Amir-Hossein Tahmasebi: We've Adopted Nuclear Ambiguity – We'll Enrich As Much Uranium As We Want; Now Iran Will Be The One To Set Global Oil Prices
On June 23, 2025, Iranian TV host Amir-Hossein Tahmasebi addressed U.S. President Donald Trump and IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi on his show on Channel 3 (Iran), declaring that Iran has adopted a policy of nuclear ambiguity. He said that Iran will enrich uranium to any level it chooses, retain as much enriched material as it wants, import and export with any country it wishes, and build nuclear facilities wherever it deems necessary. He added that Iran is reconsidering its position regarding the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Tahmasebi said that while Iranians will continue to respect international organizations, they will no longer accept being singled out. He also declared that the era of $70–$80 oil barrels is over, and from now on, it will be Iranians who determine global oil prices. Amir-Hossein Tahmasebi: "Mr. Trump, Mr. Grossi, and all those who sought to harm the Iranians, we have adopted a policy of nuclear ambiguity. We will enrich uranium to whatever level we choose. We will retain as much [enriched] material as we see fit. We will import to and export from any country we wish. We will build [nuclear] facilities wherever we decide. We will reconsider our position on the NPT, and we will answer to no one. "Although we will continue to respect international organizations, we will no longer accept being singled out in the world, and the Iranian people will no longer allow it either. This message was and will continue to be conveyed by Abbas Araghchi to the international community. The days and the dream of $70-$80 per oil barrel are over. From now on, we will determine the price of oil in the world – so that you learn not to make stupid decisions or act with stupidity."

Iranian TV Anchor Warns Thousands of American Soldiers Will Be Sent Home in 'Coffins' in Rebuke of Trump's Bombing
An Iranian television show host admonished the Trump administration for the attack on multiple Iranian nuclear facilities, warning that Washington would receive one coffin after another following the bombings. Mahdi Khanalizadeh, who hosts Iranian Channel 3, reacted to the bombings on Sunday, stating that President Donald Trump would receive American soldiers in coffins after Iran responds to the attacks. "We have total control over all the American military bases in the region. 40,000-50,000 American military personnel are in the line of fire of the Iranian military," he said, according to translations by Memri TV. "Now, all American personnel in the region, whether civilian or military, constitute legitimate targets," he continued. "You have chosen for the blood of your soldiers to be spilled. The President of the United States, the man in the Oval Office, chose to receive the coffins of 40,000-50,000 U.S. soldiers in Washington." His co-host, Amir-Hossein Tahmasebi, also chimed in, agreeing with his sentiments. "Our boundaries have been violated, and this will have consequences. The minimal consequences will be the bulldozing of the American bases in Qatar, in the UAE, in Manama, in Baghdad..." Tahmasebi said. "Wherever there are U.S. interests in West Asia and around the Persian Gulf – they constitute legitimate targets within the line of fire of our precision missiles." "Now, it's time for America to be defeated in the region. The war will be in our favor – with the result being 2:0 – with the next step being the annihilation of U.S. bases in the region, and the killing of the terrorist American personnel in the region," Khanalizadeh continued. "When I heard the Americans booing Bernie Sanders' speech, I felt sorry for them. In the next few weeks, these people will be carrying the coffins of their children, their spouses, and their brothers, and take them to church to have burial services there," Tahmasebi added. "One coffin after another, one C-130 airplane after another, will land at JFK Airport, unloading the coffins of U.S. soldiers." Trump announced that the U.S. had successfully struck three nuclear facilities in Iran during a national address he delivered from the White House on Saturday evening. Iran has since launched 10 missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar in retaliation. Originally published on Latin Times

Iranian General Ebrahim Jabbari, Advisor to IRGC Chief, on Iran State TV: We Must Chop Off Trump's Hand, Slit Netanyahu's Throat, Annihilate Israel
General Ebrahim Jabbari, senior advisor to the IRGC commander-in-chief and former commander of Supreme Leader Khamenei's security unit, appeared on Channel 3 (Iran) on June 23, 2025. He suggested that the U.S. may have joined the conflict because Iran was on the verge of annihilating Israel. Jabbari stated that Iranians must 'chop off President Trump's hand' and 'slit Netanyahu's throat.' He also claimed that American military bases and warships in the region could be eliminated 'in the blink of an eye,' and that Israel itself must be annihilated. The program's host claimed that Iranian intelligence had intercepted internal Israeli communications indicating that, despite official reports stating there were no fatalities, over 500 Israelis were actually killed and 300 are missing following the previous day's Iranian attacks, in which several dozen were reportedly wounded. Jabbari confirmed the host's claim. Later, Jabbari alleged that Israel had failed to intercept even a single Iranian missile. The host concluded by asserting that the world acknowledges Iran is in the right and that Iran must build a nuclear bomb.
