The top military command said in a statement that the “criminal US” has threatened to attack the nuclear and sensitive centers of Islamic Iran.
“If the aggressive and terrorist army of that country enters such a stage, we consider it as an expansion of war in the region and all the interests of America and the allies and supporters of that rogue and evil country will be the target of powerful strikes by the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” it warned.
The warning came after US President Donald Trump said, during a meeting with Lebanese counterpart Michel Aoun, that the United States would target Iran's Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site “pretty soon.”
In recent days, the US military has conducted waves of deadly aerial assaults on Iran, targeting civilian sites in a blatant war crime.
In response, Iranian armed forces launched heavy reprisal attacks against strategic American targets across West Asia.
The United States and the Israeli regime waged their illegal war of aggression against Iran on February 28. However, forty days later, on April 8, the enemies were forced to accept a ceasefire amid Iran’s brave resistance and successful retaliatory operations.
On June 17, Tehran and Washington signed the Pakistan-brokered Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to end all hostilities and prepare for further negotiations.
However, Washington violated all provisions of the understanding, prompting Iran to deliver a firm response.
