Iran warned Trump any strike would cost US 3,000-4,000 dead, lawmaker says
An Iranian lawmaker said Tehran warned US President Donald Trump that any strike on Iran would trigger retaliation causing thousands of American casualties.
Mahmoud Nabavian, a member of parliament’s national security committee, said Trump sent a message via an unnamed country before negotiations asking to hit “two points” in Iran.
“We told them it was over. If you make the slightest mistake, we will take three to four thousand casualties from you,” Nabavian was quoted as saying.
He added that lawmakers had told Iran’s foreign minister to inform regional counterparts that any company or base “bearing the name of the United States” would be targeted.
