Washington, DC [US], July 11 (ANI): US President Donald Trump threatened military action against Iran on Friday (local time), saying the US military is prepared to respond to any threat against him.
Trump said that 1,000 missiles are “locked and loaded” and aimed at Iran.
In a post on Truth Social, he wrote, “1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME! Orders have already been given, and the U.S. Military is ready, willing, and able, for a one year period of time, subject to extension, to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran – PRAISE BE TO ALLAH! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi alleged that the United States has violated the memorandum of understanding (MoU).
In a post on X, he wrote, “Iran has so far kept its word, unlike the so-called U.S. Treasury Secretary who is violating Para 9 of the MoU. That violation follows other violations and missteps by the United States. Reality check: There can only be mutual compliance.”
Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, quoted by Al Jazeera, said Tehran would never capitulate to the United States and remains fully prepared to defend itself if Washington breaches the memorandum of understanding.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said the country’s armed forces continue to monitor potential threats.
In a post on X, he said, “In these hot summer days, the valiant defenders of the noble homeland in the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, on the coasts, islands, borders, and other sensitive points of the country, with vigilant and watchful eyes, keep the enemy’s movements under surveillance and safeguard the security and tranquility of dear Iran. We send greetings and salutations to all the brave warriors and valiant defenders of the homeland and the selfless forces who, without fanfare, shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting this land. The Iranian nation appreciates your sincere efforts, steadfastness, and sacrifices, and takes pride in your powerful presence. May God be your helper and supporter.”
According to Al Jazeera, senior US officials said discussions between the United States and Iran have been productive.
The United States maintains that any agreement with Iran must include several conditions, including Iran’s acceptance of nuclear limits and the transfer of nuclear material. (ANI)
