Iran's regime warned the United Nations that it will respond "decisively" if the United States carries out a military attack. In a letter sent to Secretary-General António Guterres and the Security Council, Tehran stated that it will consider US bases and facilities in the region "legitimate targets." The warning comes after President Donald Trump's ultimatum to reach a nuclear agreement within a period of up to 15 days.
The document was signed by Iran's ambassador to the UN, Amir Saeid Iravani. There, it keeps that Washington's rhetoric represents "a real risk of military aggression," although it states that Iran is not seeking to start a war.
Tehran raises the tone and targets US bases.
The letter is explicit. If there is an attack, all United States bases, facilities, and assets in the region will be considered legitimate targets.
The regime asked the Security Council to demand that Washington "immediately cease its illegal threats." However, the same text tries to appear open to a "reciprocal" diplomatic solution regarding its nuclear program.
Tehran also reacted to a Trump post in which the president hinted that he could use British military bases if there is no agreement. From Iran, officials described that statement as "belligerent."
Trump keeps military pressure
Meanwhile, the United States reinforced its deployment in the Middle East. Warships, fighter jets, and strategic equipment were sent to the region.
