Iran will target US and its interests if attacked, senior ex-official says

"If the US attacks Iran, we won’t just target Washington — all its interests, bases, airspaces, seas, and territories used to launch an attack on us will be considered legitimate targets," said Mohammad-Javad Larijani, a former top advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader and an Islamic Republic insider.

“Right now, the US says don’t enrich uranium. A bit later, they’ll say don’t even learn physics or math. From their perspective, we probably shouldn’t work in the field of science at all — we should focus on music, dance, and singing instead.”
