Israel and US facilities in the Middle East will become legitimate targets for Iran in the event of armed aggression, Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on Sunday amid reports of a potential US strike on Iran.
The New York Times has reported, citing officials, that US President Donald Trump has been briefed on possible attack options against Iran amid the protests in the Islamic Republic. Trump is reported to be seriously considering approving strikes.
"In the event of an attack on Iran, both the occupied territories [Israel] and all US military centers, bases, and ships in the region will be our legitimate targets," Ghalibaf was quoted as saying by the IRIB news agency.
Taking into account Trump's admission of his intention to launch a military attack against Tehran, Iran "will not consider itself limited in [its means] to respond to the action taken [against it] within the framework of legitimate defense," Ghalibaf said.
