Iran says will strike US bases in Mideast if nuclear talks fail and conflict begins
If nuclear negotiations fail and conflict arises with the United States, Iran will strike American bases in the region, Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh says, days ahead of a planned sixth round of Iran-US nuclear talks.
US President Donald Trump has warned Tehran of potential military action if a deal is not reached.

Iran repeatedly calls for Israel’s destruction.
