Iran’s defence minister warned of strikes on US and Israeli targets “wherever and whenever necessary” if war is launched against the country.
Tehran: Iranian Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh warned that Iran would strike US and Israeli interests, bases, and troops “wherever and whenever deemed necessary” if either country initiates a war against the Islamic Republic.
He made the remarks in an interview with Iran’s IRIB news agency published on Sunday, responding to a recent threat made by US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, who warned that Iran would “pay the consequence” for its “support to the Houthis.”
The defence minister stated that Iran maintains a large arsenal of missiles in its bases and would not hesitate to use them against regional targets if war is imposed on the country, Xinhua news agency reported.
