Iran warns Trump of 'painful attacks' if US strikes, citing regional base use

Iran warned President Donald Trump on Sunday that any U.S. attack would trigger immediate "painful attacks" in retaliation, without limitations, as reported by Al Jazeera. The threat follows speculation of an imminent U.S. strike in the Middle East. Trump told Fox News he was in "deciding mode" on authorizing strikes, saying "very big things" were coming and that "wiping Iran out" was under consideration. Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya military headquarters cautioned against mistakes and warned regional U.S. allies they would be considered complicit if bases were used. The Iranian statement accused the United States of seeking to cover up failures in a war based on "Israeli lies," and said regional countries aligning with the "Great Satan" could expect no restraint from Iran's armed forces.
