‘All US Bases Within Our Reach’: Iran Responds To Threats From Washington (13279 Views)

Iran’s Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh said on 11 June that Tehran will strike US military bases in the region if nuclear talks fail and Washington decides to launch an attack on the Islamic Republic.

"Some officials on the other side threaten conflict if negotiations don't come to fruition. If a conflict is imposed on us ... all US bases are within our reach and we will boldly target them in host countries," Nasirzadeh said during a press conference, warning the US to “leave the region” in the “case of any conflict.”

“We have made very good progress in defense affairs. Our operational forces are fully equipped,” the defense minister added, revealing that Iran recently tested a missile with a two-ton warhead. “[If] a conflict is imposed on us, the casualties of the other party will definitely be much heavier than ours,” he went on to say.

The comments came in response to escalating threats from Washington, coinciding with increased tension in nuclear talks between Iran and the US.

When asked at a hearing of the House of Representatives on Tuesday if Washington is prepared to “respond with overwhelming force to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran,” the chief of US Central Command (CENTCOM) said he has “provided the secretary of defense and the president a wide range of options.”

US President Donald Trump said on the same day in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier that Iran has become “much more aggressive” in nuclear talks. “They’re just asking for things you can’t do. They don’t want to give up what they have to give up,” adding that it is “disappointing” because “the alternative is a very, very dire one.”

Trump said on Monday that he was “less confident” in the ability to reach a deal.

Iran has rejected a new US proposal that would significantly constrain its ability to enrich uranium, and has said it will soon put forward a counteroffer. A new round of talks is set to take place in the coming days.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to attack Iran if the negotiations fail. Israel has also drawn up plans for an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities.

In a phone call between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, the US president said he is still pushing for a deal, adding that an Israeli attack on Iran would be unhelpful and is “off limits” at the moment, according to Hebrew reports.

However, Trump has previously signaled that Israel would play a key role in any attack in the event that nuclear negotiations fail.

Iran’s Intelligence Ministry announced recently that it has obtained thousands of sensitive documents on Israel’s nuclear program. The chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hossein Salami, said the intel will provide Iran with an advantage if it is forced to respond to an Israeli attack.

By tearing up the Iran nuclear deal put forward by Obama,trump goofed.
The Obama istration had a good deal that prevents Iran from further enrichment of uranium and preventing it from its main goal of getting a nuclear weapon.

Part of the conditions of that deal allows UN inspectors access to monitor Iran nuclear activities.

But they were enriching it still. There was no deal, only a charade. Obama is a secret Islamic agent against America..

I can bet my entire life savings that without using Google you don't even know the content of that deal,the deal was a good one but trump and the republicans rejected it because of politics,I doubt the Iranians will trust them again for another deal.
Ever since trump tore that deal,the Iranians have been enriching uranium steady,and may soon get a bomb.

They only resumed that after the deal broke,many of you don't even know the content of the deal you just want to comment to form foreign affairs analyst.

The deal allows UN inspectors access to monitor Iran nuclear activities.

There's a strong inclination that Israel's attack on Iran nuclear sites is imminent. The tricky aspect here is that time is of the essence for both parties. There's this Yoruba saying that he that hastens or expedites his action is whom the devil help.

This Iran chest beating is like Wike vs fulani herdsmen in Abuja. This Iran will so dare you that you might do what you don't wanna do. Ayatollah don't care if Iran is crushed to crumbs, but he continues to be aggressive. How many countries are Iran's ally?
Chaii! US and Israel don suffer for Iran hand.

But it is hidden beneath, I heard it is deep inside the earth where bunker burster can not reach.

And We still don't know how many nuclear sites are located in Iran. They are preparing for a world war against the west, so the days ahead is very dark.

Talk is always cheap until you're levelled to the ground. Iranian citizens want this Islamic regime to fail but I don't know if Iran will become like Afghanistan or will become a better nation but one thing I know is that they will stop funding terrorism all over the world.

Can ISREAL defeat Iran on a single one on one?
Isreal is a weak and very tiny state not even as big as Kaduna state.
You guys underestimate Iran alot... Those are the persians you hear about. If you really know how strategic that Iran is located you would understand why Isreal wants this war with US..
Nigeria has only one main port but see how much Apapa generates annually, Irans 4-5 main ports are extremely lucrative, 30-40% of all cargos globally must and pay their taxes to through, from Asia to middle east, to Africa to inshort google it, They make billions of dollars weekly. They are a very serious threat hence the sanctions. This na oppression all you pro man made isreal lovers de celebrate and you de complain about the oppressions of bandits/kidnappers in your country, they complain about govt oppression in your own country but de celebrate the same oppression far away east...

GO AND READ YOUR BOOKS!!!!!!!

IRAN IS THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT CONNECTS EUROPE, AFRICA AND ASIA THATS VERY STRATEGIC, ALL YOUR ITEMS THAT WHERE SHIPPED IN YOUR HOME YOU PAID TAXES TO IRAN, DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY WORLD POWERS FAILED TO CONQUER IT?

RUSSIA, MONGOLS, TURKS EVEN BRITAIN ALL FAILED, ITS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD THAT SHARES BORDERS WITH 7 OTHER COUNTRIES. NA THAT TINY MAN MADE ISREAL WAN DEFEAT AM.

THE SILENCE/GENTLENESS OF THE LION DOES NOT MEAN WEAKNESS, THEY ARE SMART ONLY DOGS BITE AND BARK.
