JAKARTA - Iran will not be silent in the face of the United States' threatening rhetoric, said the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, Ali Larijani in a telephone conversation with the Head of the International Security Division of the Swiss Foreign Ministry, Gabriel Luechinger.
"Although Iran considers the Swiss positive approach as necessary, Iran will not remain silent in the face of US threat rhetoric," Larijani said, quoted by the Tasnim news agency.
In the report, Larijani also praised Switzerland's positive role in easing tensions and helping resolve previous crises.
Protests erupted in Iran in late December 2025 amid concerns over soaring inflation due to the weakening of the local currency, the Iranian rial.
Since January 8, following a call from Reza Pahlavi, the son of the Shah of Iran who was overthrown in 1979, protests in various regions of Iran have intensified. On the same day, internet access in the country was blocked.
In several cities, demonstrations turned into clashes with police when protesters chanted slogans criticizing the government. There were reports of casualties among security forces and demonstrators.
Meanwhile, at the end of December, US President Donald Trump said he would support a new attack on Iran if Tehran attempted to continue developing its missile and nuclear programs.
Later, amid the wave of protests in Iran, Trump threatened to launch a devastating attack if the demonstrators were killed, and promised to support the Iranian people if necessary.
