Iran has said it is ready to protect Greenland from US President Donald Trump, adding “just ask… we’ll come”.
“Trump first threatened the European Union, then begged them. Today he said if you don’t come,
we will come and take Greenland. I want to tell the European Union, if you cannot keep your Greenland, just ask us, we will come to protect it,” the Iranian spokesperson said.
Iran’s remarks come amid the West Asia war. Iran has been under attack from Israel and the United States and has responded with counterstrikes since February 28. Tehran has also moved to shut the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation. Since then, Trump has urged NATO and EU allies to help the United States secure the key oil route.
Trump has also threatened to capture Iran’s key oil hub, Kharg Island.

Trump’s Greenland push
Trump revived his plan to acquire Greenland earlier this year, calling for “immediate negotiations” on national security grounds. No agreement has been reached as Denmark and Greenland have refused.
Trump also threatened tariffs of 10-25 per cent on European Union goods, including those from Denmark, Norway and Sweden, unless a deal was reached. He shared maps and AI images showing US flags over Greenland.
However, Denmark has said Greenland is not negotiable, while Greenland Prime Minister Nielsen has drawn a “red line” on sovereignty. Trump has said it will happen “one way or the other”, though he has ruled out using force, citing concerns over the Arctic and Russia. Tensions within NATO have increased since then. However, no purchase has been made yet.
