🚨Trump threatens Iran with bombs unless nuclear deal is reached
According to an article today from The Telegraph, a senior Iranian military official has stated that Iran will attack the U.S-U.K joint base at Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia, roughly 2,000 miles from Iran in the Indian Ocean, with ballistic missiles and drones in response to any kind of strike launched from the base by the United States. This comes following the deployment of between 5 and 9 B-2 “Spirit” Long-Range Strategic Stealth Bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to Diego Garcia over the past week, as rumors fly about possible future strikes against Iran’s nuclear and long-range missile facilities, after a letter earlier this month by U.S. President Donald J. Trump gave Iran a “two-month deadline” to make a new nuclear deal with the United States. The Iranian official further added to the threat to attack Diego Garcia by also threatening to attack Turkey and countries hosting U.S. bases in the Middle East, stating, “There will be no distinction in targeting British or American forces if Iran is attacked from any base in the region or within the range of Iranian missiles. When the time comes, it won’t matter whether you’re an American, British, or Turkish soldier – you will be targeted if your base is used by Americans.” image
