Iran has issued a stern warning that it would destroy US regional assets if strikes escalated.
Spokesperson for the Iranian military, Ebrahim Zolfaghari, gave the warning on Friday
“Touch the infrastructure, we will destroy all your assets and infrastructure in the region,” Zolfaghari said.
According to him, the warning came in response to United States President Donald Trump and his repeated threats to destroy Iran’s bridges, power plants, and electricity and energy infrastructure.
The military spokesperson, further stated that if such threats are carried out, Iran’s armed forces would target US and Israeli-linked fuel, energy and economic sites across the region, as well as assets in allied countries hosting American forces.
“Countries hosting US military bases in the region must force Americans to leave their countries if they want to avoid harm,” he added.
The warning is coming against the backdrop of Trump’s claim that US forces destroyed Iran’s largest bridge, after he shared footage showing part of the under-construction suspension bridge between Tehran and Karaj collapsing.
