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.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
I’d consult with the Houthies before going down that path.
The left will immediately side with iran and condemn Trump, no matter what he does.
He’s assuming there is anything left to attack US bases after a strike.
Something tells me we could take out their entire Air Force PDQ. Just make sure they’re in the air and out of Iranian air space. You don’t want the locals to rally behind the ayatollahs.

Yeah those F-4s are a real threat.
Will Trump FINALLY stop this ridiculous attempt to “make a deal” with these homicidal jihadists? Enough! Unleash the IDF MOABs.
Drones and/or ballistic missiles.
Iran really doesn’t have an air force that could operate outside Iran. Iranian Mehr news reported a successful missile test carrying a 2000kg warhead. If true, a big bang is not long from now.
Blah... Blah... Blah...
The logical military strategy is to cripple defensive installations before the big boys arrive...
An empty threat from a bankrupt regime.
If those buried nuke labs get taken out expect payback. The next step would be to mine the harbors like Nixon did in Haiphong. 48 hours to leave before they’re activated.
It would be a message to the Chicoms should they think of an amphibious assault/blockade on Taiwan.
The longer we wait the worse it will get. Let Israel take care of it now.
The logical thing here is economic pressure and not military. It’s time to call the EU’s bluff on Iran and punish those countries interested in aiding Iran.
In a more perfect global world, yes indeed!
However, the EU is, politically (due to uncontrolled mass migration), a Muslim-Persian-African nation...
Ha! I’ll do you one better.
I’m wondering which elected democrat called Iran and TOLD them to do this.
LOL! Do it! Iran will cease to exist...
Russia is full of Muslims, too. That doesn’t necessarily have to dictate policy.
