Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has issued a sharp warning to US President Donald Trump over his threat to “finish the job” against Tehran, saying Iran came out stronger from the previous confrontation.“Last time you wanted to ‘finish the job’, Iran emerged even stronger. Want to try your luck again? Be our guest. But be careful, we have unfinished jobs too,” Araghchi wrote on X.Taking aim at Netanyahu, the Iranian minister alleged that the Israeli leader was trying to pull the United States into another military conflict to avoid facing legal consequences at home. He cautioned that the fallout could affect both Israel and Trump.“Netanyahu is driving America into another war to stay out of jail, whatever the consequences for Israel—let alone POTUS,” Araghchi said.
