Following the bombardment of three nuclear sites in Iran by the United States, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has vowed revenge, warning President Donald Trump to “expect regrettable responses”.
Pushing itself directly into the conflict, the US dropped bombs on three nuclear sites in Iran — Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, in the early hours of Sunday (IST). Notably, the mountain facility at Fordow and the enrichment plant at Natanz are among Iran’s key uranium enrichment centres.
During a press briefing on Sunday, President Trump suggested Iran to step back and achieve peace, else United States would target additional sites.
“There will either be peace or tragedy for Iran,” Trump said, adding that he worked “as a team” with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Soon after the attack, Iran responded strongly, criticising the US over the strikes. Condemning the US strikes on nuclear facilities, Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi termed the act a “grave violation” of the UN Charter, international law, and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
Araghchi warned the US of everlasting consequences and said Iran, under the UN Charter, reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests, and people.
