Iran Warns U.S. Attack Would Trigger Strikes on Israel
(France 24) Iran's parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned Sunday that U.S. military bases and Israel would be "legitimate targets" if America strikes the Islamic Republic in support of Iranian protesters. "In the event of an attack on Iran, both the occupied territory [Israel] and all American military centers, bases and ships in the region will be our legitimate targets." At the parliamentary session, lawmakers rushed the dais, shouting: "Death to America." On Saturday, Iran's attorney general, Mohammad Movahedi Azad, warned on Iranian state television that anyone taking part in protests will be considered an "enemy of God," a death-penalty charge.
