Iran Threatens Gulf Blitz If U.S. Hits Nuclear Plants
[Sunday Times-UK] Michael Smith - Iran has threatened to launch a missile blitz against the Gulf states and plunge the entire Middle East into war if America attacks its nuclear facilities. Admiral Ali Shamkhani, a senior defense adviser to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warned that Gulf states providing the U.S. with military cooperation would be the key targets of a barrage of ballistic missiles. Shamkhani told the U.S. journal Defense News that missiles would be launched not only at U.S. military bases but also at strategic targets such as oil refineries and power stations. The attacks on Arab states would be in addition to airstrikes on Israel, which have been threatened repeatedly.
