TEHRAN (Defapress) - The U.S. State Department announced on Saturday that it has received reports that Iran is preparing options to target American bases in the region.
He continued: "If Iran attacks American interests, it will be met with a strong response."

Following repeated threats from the U.S. President and his explicit support for rioters and vandals, Tehran has explicitly stated that it will strongly respond to any U.S. action against Iran.

Although Trump has recently toned down his threats against Iran, given the experiences of the 12-day imposed war between the U.S. and Zionist regime against Tehran, the Iranian armed forces have prepared themselves for any provocative action by enemies.
