In a significant development, Iran refused to bow down to Donald Trump’s bomb threat and said it is preparing its underground missile arsenal to strike “US-related positions” if necessary, state-controlled media Tehran Times reported on Monday.
The development comes after the US President stated that bombing Iran is an option if Tehran refuses to accept the nuclear deal.
After Trump’s threat, Tehran Times reported that Iran has placed its missiles in ready-to-launch mode within underground facilities across the country.
Donald Trump on Sunday (local time) threatened Iran with “possible bombing” as well as the imposition of secondary tariffs on the Islamic Republic if they do not comply with the nuclear deal proposed by the US.
During a telephone interview with NBC News, Trump said that the US would give Iran a couple of weeks to comply and that stern action would be taken depending on how the deal progresses.
“If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing. It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before,” Trump stated, as quoted by NBC News.
