Iran: Iran threatens to target Turkey if attacked by Israel or America
Iran will target NATO’s missile shield in neighboring Turkey if it is threatened by military action, the commander of the aerospace division of the Revolutionary Guards said.
‘We are prepared to first target the NATO defense missile shield in Turkey if we are threatened. And then we’ll move on to other targets,’ Amir-Ali Hajizadeh was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency.
Although Iranian officials have said several times they could retaliate with ballistic missiles against so-called “Israel” if attacked, Hajizadeh’s remark was the first time the Revolutionary Guards spoke of targeting Turkey.
Speculation has intensified in that “Israel” that it was preparing air strikes on Iran to attack nuclear facilities.
