Top Iranian Lawmaker Warns Trump After Hormuz Threats: ‘Worry About Your Own Security’
Breitbart ^ | 16 Aug 2026 | JOSHUA KLEIN

A top Iranian lawmaker appeared to warn President Donald Trump about his personal safety Saturday, telling the president to “worry about his own security” as tensions escalate over control of the Strait of Hormuz.

“The U.S. President ought to worry about his own security rather than his endless bluffing regarding the Strait of Hormuz; before he ends up hiding in a food truck,” Ebrahim Azizi, chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, wrote on X.

Azizi’s reference to a “food truck” appeared to invoke an extraordinary security operation during Trump’s trip to Turkey last month, when the president was secretly transported in a catering vehicle to a separate military aircraft after U.S. officials received intelligence about a potential Iranian threat against Trump or his plane.

“The U.S. President ought to worry about his own security…”

That mad mullah hasn’t figured that we’re living in an alternate universe where DJT _survived_ the assassin’s bullet.

I would be shocked if they were NOT communicating with the butchering mullahs to do their bidding.
Those same mullahs have probably been forced to Block the messages from certain Dems when the frequency became incessant.

There are no lawmakers in Iran, only the IRGC police state.

We could always fire bomb Tehran - do a 'Dresden' on them... Why shouldn't we play by their rules? Iran has never cared if civilians are killed by their weapons.

THEY WANT civilians killed.

WHY should we accept one standard of rules for them and a different set of rules for ourselves? Isn't that racist? Where we're saying we're superior because we're not blood thirsty primitives? Sounds 'superior' to me. Let's show them we're equals and dresden them. (isn't that how liberal logic works? Or am I missing something here?)

Pretty brave words coming from a fanatic who has his own personal safety apparently guaranteed by Allah, a minor deity much adored, admired, and emulated by a certain segment of the world’s population.

The world has seen the Hand of YWHW Himself extended to protect and preserve the life of an imperfect man, Donald J. Trump, doing the perfect work of the Lord.

My Iran plan thoughts

The art of diplomacy has been called the Art of saying “good doggy, good doggy” while reaching for a big stick

So lots of good doggy until after the election and the set the Israelis back on their head hunting mission to take out a couple thousand IRGC and Badij leaders

Do this enough and we take out the leaders the IRGC and Basij cannot live without

The single biggest mistake of this war has been taking the pressure off the IRGC and Basij leaders and their families

The Mullahs have been attacking civilization for 50+ years.

One more threat just adds to the sum total of their crimes.

Iranians and Democrats sound so much alike in their little petty statements

Why not take out 5% of Iran’s refineries on the Strait for every ship Iran attacks in the strait?
