Iran threatens to hit US military targets if Trump decides to strike over protests
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Iran has threatened to hit US military targets if Donald Trump launches strikes over the country's growing protests. The US president warned the ayatollah's regime this week that the United States would hit them hard if protesters were killed, and is understood to be weighing up options for action within days. Hundreds of people have now been killed on Iran's streets as nationwide protests in 185 cities across all 31 provinces calling for an end to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's rule continue to grow."
"But as international pressure on Iran mounts, Tehran escalated the crisis on Sunday by claiming it was ready to launch preemptive strikes against Israeli and US bases in the region. In the event of an attack on Iran, both the occupied territory and all American military centres, bases and ships in the region will be our legitimate targets, parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said."
