Iran Supreme Leader Warns Retaliation Against U.S. Military Bases

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that any future U.S. attack would be met with strikes on American military bases in the Middle East, highlighting Iran's recent missile attacks on U.S. bases in Qatar and Iraq as a demonstration of its capability and willingness to retaliate. Khamenei emphasized that Iran's ability to target key U.S. centers in the region represents a significant strategic development and that such attacks would come at a great cost. These remarks were made in Khamenei's first televised appearance since a ceasefire between Iran and Israel was reached. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed the possibility of further strikes if Iran resumes its nuclear enrichment program. The situation escalated after U.S. airstrikes targeted Iranian nuclear facilities, prompting Iran's missile response and signaling ongoing tensions in the region.
