Iran’s Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh warned on June 11 2025 that if diplomatic efforts fail and conflict with the United States erupts, Iran will target American military bases in the region.
This threat comes ahead of a sixth round of nuclear negotiations, which Iran says will take place in Oman and where it is expected to submit a counter‑proposal.
Nasirzadeh also revealed Iran recently tested a missile carrying a two‑ton warhead and insisted it would not accept restrictions on its defence capabilities.
Tensions continue rising as US President Trump warns of possible military action if Iran rejects a new nuclear agreement.
