The Central Military Command of Iran, which oversees the armed forces, has warned that if the United States attacks its nuclear facilities, it will target U.S. and allied assets.
On July 22, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported that the Central Military Command issued a statement saying, "The United States is threatening to attack Iran's nuclear facilities and key sensitive sites."
It added, "If the U.S. aggressive and terrorist military actually reaches that stage, we will consider it an escalation of regional war," emphasizing that all assets of the U.S. and its allies will become targets of the Iranian military's strong response.
This warning suggests that if the U.S. attacks nuclear facilities, the scope of retaliation could extend beyond U.S. military installations in the Middle East to include assets related to U.S. allies and support forces.
President Donald Trump mentioned the so-called 'Mount of Pickaxes,' believed to house underground nuclear facilities in central Iran, stating, "We will strike that area very powerfully soon."
Trump also said, "If they have any place they are thinking about regarding nuclear matters, we will strike it very, very powerfully."
