An Iranian source told state media that the US 'will gain nothing' from threatening Iran, and reaffirmed the threat to close the Strait of Hormuz and strike twice as many targets if the US attacks again, according to Iranian media reports.
Iranian state media reported Wednesday evening that a senior Iranian source warned the US will 'gain nothing' from threatening Iran, and reiterated Tehran's threat to close the Strait of Hormuz and strike twice as many targets if the US carries out another attack. The statement comes hours after the US conducted a second night of strikes on Iranian targets, and as President Trump threatened renewed bombing if no nuclear deal is reached.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Wednesday, Iranian state media had issued a similar threat conditional on a US attack. In a separate bulletin, Trump threatened 'very hard' strikes on Iran tonight. The latest exchange escalates the war of words between Washington and Tehran, with the Strait of Hormuz — a strategic waterway for global oil shipments — remaining a central flashpoint.
