The Warning
Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the operational command of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, issued a statement on July 22 warning that any US attack on Iranian nuclear plants would be considered an expansion of war in the region. The statement said US allies and all American interests in the region would become targets. The warning was reported by Sabah and Cumhuriyet.
US Threat Background
The Iranian warning comes after US President Donald Trump said the US would strike the Kazma Mountain area near Iran's Natanz nuclear facility "very soon, very powerfully." The area is believed to contain centrifuges, according to Trump. Natanz is Iran's primary uranium enrichment site, subject to IAEA inspections.
