Iran threatens to strike US bases if conflict erupts over nuclear programme
Al Jazeera ^ | 6/11/2025 | Staff

Posted on 06/11/2025 11:29:08 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Iran’s defence minister has said his country would target US military bases in the region if conflict breaks out with the United States, as President Donald Trump said he was losing confidence that a nuclear deal would be agreed.

Washington and Tehran have held five rounds of talks since April as Trump seeks an agreement that would place constraints on Iran’s uranium enrichment. He has threatened to attack Iran if no deal can be agreed.

Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh said on Wednesday that Iran would target US military bases in the region if the US attacked it first.

“Some officials on the other side threaten conflict if negotiations don’t come to fruition. If a conflict is imposed on us … all US bases are within our reach and we will boldly target them in host countries,” Nasirzadeh told reporters, the Reuters news agency reported.

The sixth round of talks is expected later this week, with Trump saying they will take place on Thursday, and Tehran saying they will be held on Sunday in Oman.

“If the US attacks Iran” I see Israel doing the attacking at this point I could be wrong but I’ll put my money there.

Actually, they are F-14 Tomcats.

Whether any of them are currently airworthy is another matter.

It’s way past time to put stop Iran from threatening the rest of the world. I would like to see a list of people who have died in and outside Iran because of the hateful dogma propagated by the mullahs.

Maybe aspiring to be a world power isnt where Iran should be going. Germany, Brazil, Australia, Argentina, Japan, and the list goes on, all could have nukes in short order. However Islamic Armageddon is not unlike Revelation, right down to the return of Christ. It starts with an attack on the Mahdi ( Iran) who are rescued by their ally, the Yemmini. So nukes are seen as the tools needed to start the Doomsday ball rolling.

One explanation of Iran getting even less cooperative as Trump said recently——they finally secretly have the nuclear bomb or are just finishing up the details.

Otherwise, they would have had the old fashioned jet planes in the air versus our jet planes in the air style confrontations.

Hope that isn’t true.

I believe Israel would know all about it and decide to wipe our Iran’s capability.

Two guys on park bench looking at phones and eating Subway subs.

First guy: I see Iran attacked American forces yesterday.

Second guy: What was “Iran”? This story says a giant, black smoking hole in the Middle East appears. 🕳️
Is it like those sinkholes in Florida? Hate to be driving along and fall into one.

Yes, and Iran just threatened to attack the US in response; game over for the Iranian regime and better days ahead.

Didn’t I hear someone years ago say something like, “I fear all we have done is awakened a sleeping giant?”

It reminds me of the Chronicles of Riddick; the Iranian regime should have taken the deal ...

I should have taken the money deal

Doubtful any boots on the ground would be required. Wiping out there nukes / military capacity could be done through the air. Maybe even by Isreael other than the required bunker busters that would be needed.The populace could take care of regime change if that is what they want and I suspect they do.

Not ideal, but do you trust a fanantical religious regime with nukes that will no doubt threaten to use them?

Well its either them or US - you’d obviously pick them.

You do understand that the goal of an Iranian nuclear program is to immediately use it? The more blood, the better, as far as the Mad Mullahs are concerned; they are willing to martyr themselves and all Iranians to achieve their goal. Their announced targets are Tel Aviv, Rome, and New York City.

By this action, the Mad Mullahs, ruling Iran, believe it will bring the 12th Imam out of the Well he climbed into in 850AD; on emerging he will lead the forces of Islam to bring all of the human race, which includes you presumably, to Paradise - aka the extinction of the human race.

You’d rather this than stopping them now?

Yes because they have said so many, many times - they want the Mullahs dead and gone, even if they die in the process.

Seen it happen too many times. The Argentine generals(Falklands) weren’t crazy like the Ayatollas but the people rallied behind their leaders.

‘Patriotism is the last bastion of the scoundrel’.
Heard it somewhere.
