Iran's foreign minister says Tehran still hopes the United States chooses diplomacy, but warns it will hit American bases if it is attacked.
Iran's foreign minister says Tehran still hopes the United States chooses diplomacy, but warns it will hit American bases if it is attacked.
Abbas Araghchi said Iran has no intention of attacking friendly countries in the region, but added there can be no compromise on US bases: 'We will definitely target both American bases and other American targets.'
The warning comes days before Tuesday's US midterm elections, a date both sides are watching as the moment Washington's next move becomes clearer.
Taken together, the weekend's signals point to a narrow window: diplomacy is still on the table, but both sides are openly preparing for the alternative.
