New Delhi: According to some reports, Iran has sent a warning to Donald Trump. Iran’s Military on Monday warned US President Donald Trump of powerful retaliatory operations against the United States, saying that America’s direct attack on Iranian nuclear sites has expanded the range of legitimate targets for the Iranian armed forces.
Addressing the US President Donald Trump directly, Ebrahim Zolfaghari, the spokesperson of Iran’s Military Central Command. “Gambler Trump, you can start this war, but we will be the ones who end it.”
The remarks followed a series of US airstrikes on Iran’s three key nuclear installations, the underground uranium enrichment site of Fordo, along with the nuclear facilities in Isfahan and Natanz, with Trump insisting the attack had obliterated Tehran’s nuclear capabilities.
As the world awaited Iran’s reply, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Monday also called the bombing campaign Israel launched on June 13 a big mistake. The Zionist enemy is being punished right now, Khamenei wrote on social media.
In a sign of possible nervousness about the conflict spilling into a wider regional war, oil prices jumped by more than 4% in early trading on Monday. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged China to help deter Iran from shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial trade route through which one-fifth of global oil output passes.
Iran is also threatening US bases in the Middle East. Amid threats, the State Department issued a worldwide alert cautioning Americans abroad. The Conflict between Israel and Iran has resulted in disruptions to travel and periodic closure of airspace across the Middle East. There is a potential for demonstrations against US citizens and interests abroad, according to the Department’s security alert. The alert made no mention of the US strikes on Iran.
