Iran would respond to any future U.S. attack by striking American military bases in the Middle East, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Thursday, in his first televised remarks since a ceasefire was reached between Iran and Israel, APA reports citing Reuters.
"The Islamic Republic slapped America in the face. It attacked one of the important American bases in the region," Khamenei said.
"The U.S. President Trump unveiled the truth and made it clear that Americans won't be satisfied with anything less than surrender... such an event will never happen," Khamenei said.
"The fact that the Islamic Republic has access to important American centres in the region and can take action against them whenever it deems necessary is not a small incident, it is a major incident, and this incident can be repeated in the future if an attack is made," he added.
