Iran says that it will respond with a “strong counterattack” if provoked by the U.S. after President Trump threatened to bomb Iran over the weekend.
“We are not moving towards (nuclear) weapons, but if you do something wrong in the Iranian nuclear issue, you will force Iran to move towards that because it has to defend itself,” said Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “Iran does not want to do this, but … (it) will have no choice.”
Iran has complied with all international uranium inspections and repeatedly said that it has no nuclear weapons. Where is President Trump getting this notion that they have a nuclear weapon? We’ve searched and searched for proof and come up empty.
The U.S. has at least 10 bases in Iran that would be vulnerable to a counterattack with at least 50,000 troops there. The best way to prevent them from being retaliated against is to not do something that would provoke retaliation, right?
Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to carry out daily airstrikes in Yemen, while blaming the Iranians for arming the Houthis.
Ron Paul says this about all of this renewed war rhetoric out of the Trump administration: “This reminds me of all the promises of George H. W. He was very promising that we were not be the policeman of the world and what did we end up as?”
