Iran speaker warns Trump, says US forces across region are legitimate targets
Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned US President Donald Trump on Monday against what he described as threats toward Iran, saying any attack would be met with a strong response.
“We have heard that you have threatened Iran,” Ghalibaf said, according to state media. “The defenders of Iran will teach you an unforgettable lesson.”
He added that US assets in the region would be destroyed if Washington acted against Tehran.
“All American centers and forces throughout the region will be our legitimate targets in response to any potential adventurism. Come and see how all your capabilities in the region will be wiped out,” he said.
Addressing Trump directly, Ghalibaf said: “Do not believe the lies that are being told to you.”
