Iran warns of regional strikes if US targets nuclear or sensitive facilities

Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has warned that any US attack on the country’s nuclear or other sensitive facilities would trigger regional strikes on American interests, as well as those of Washington’s allies and supporters.

In a statement, the headquarters of the armed forces said such a move would be considered an expansion of the war across the region and would be met with a “powerful” response by the armed forces.

The warning came after President Donald Trump warned to strike Iran’s underground Pickaxe Mountain facility near the Natanz nuclear complex, saying the US would hit the area “very heavily”.

He said he believed Iran may have moved nuclear centrifuges to the site, while acknowledging Washington had no confirmation.
