Iran Threatens Strikes on Israel and US Bases if Attacked

Iran has threatened to strike Israel and US military bases in the Middle East if it is attacked by the United States under President Donald Trump. This threat comes amid widespread protests against the Iranian government, which have spread to over 100 cities and represent the biggest challenge to the regime in years. Reports indicate violent suppression of the protests and a high number of casualties. The speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, stated that Iran considers Israel and US bases in the region as "legitimate targets" in the event of an attack. This statement is a response to Trump's repeated threats of military action against Iran. According to reports, the US government is considering various scenarios for a military strike, including a large-scale air operation. However, there is currently no consensus on a course of action, and no military equipment or personnel have been moved in preparation for an attack. Israel is on high alert, closely monitoring the situation and preparing for potential US intervention. Many believe that a change of regime in Iran is likely, either immediately or in the long term, with significant geopolitical consequences.
