Iranian state television on Sunday has reportedly warned that “every American citizen or military personnel” in the Middle East is now on Tehran’s “target” following US airstrikes on Iran’s three nuclear sites– including Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. In a video going viral on social media, an Iranian state television anchor was heard issuing a warning to US President Donald Trump that Iran will end the conflict he started by bombing Iran’s facilities.
“The US has committed a crime against Iran by violating Iran’s airspace. It has no place in the West Asian region. Mr President of the United States, you started it and we will end it,” the Iranian broadcaster said, while a graphic of US bases in the region ran in the background.
The US has several military bases in the Middle East, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar– the largest in the region, along with the US Navy Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, Al Asad Air Base and Harir Air Base in Iraq, Al Tanf Garrison military base in southern Syria, Ali al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait, and Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates.
Iran International also quoted a presenter from the IRNA as saying that every US civilian and military personnel in the region is now a “legitimate target.”
“The battle has just begun, Mr. Trump! Now you talk of peace? We will deal with you in a way that makes you understand the consequences of recklessness,” another Iranian presenter said in a state TV program, the report said.
