US military “smoothed” main nuclear spots with massive bombs with bunkers on Sunday hours in the region said US President Donald Trump and warned Tehran to face more devastating attacks if he disagrees with peace.
Iranian State news agency IRNA said the attacks focused on nuclear places Ford, Isfahan and Natanz. The agency did not work. Iranian Foreign Minister said Iran reserves the right to retaliate.
While Iran tried to discourage Trump from connection to Israeli campaign with terrible threats of retaliation, although limited, still has the possibility of retaliation after the US bombarded its three nuclear places.
Ways Iran can retaliate – activation of representatives
Iran has built a network of alliances with regional militias – Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza and Houthis in Yemen – called the “axis of resistance”.
While Hezbollah’s extensive missile arsenal was distributed last year by the Israeli Air Force, Houthis still has a sophisticated arsenal, including several ballistic and excursion missiles, which is strikingly similar to Iranian proposals.

In November 2023, American warships repeatedly shot down houthi drones and cruises and ballistic missiles across the Red Sea. While in May a ceasefire between Houthis and the USA was reached, the terrorist group warned that the ceasefire would be considered broken if Trump decides to participate in attacks on Iran, and targets the American ships in the Red Sea, the guard said.
According to the report, the mad militia was threatened with Tehran in Iraq, Kata’IB Hizbollah, focused on the “American interests” in the Middle East in response to the participation of Washington in the support of Israel.
Closing the Hormuz Strait
According to an expert on foreign affairs, Sushant Sareen could block the Hormuz Strait, perhaps to create a global economic fallout.
“Iranians can block the Hormuz Strait, where almost 30 percent of the world’s oil flows. If so, the impact will be global; economic fallout will affect all countries. India, like other nations, will be affected, and China will be particularly affected from all of their oil flows.”

Strait is the narrow gateway to the Persian Gulf only 55 km wide in some places through which over one fifth of the world’s oil supply, 20m barrels and a lot of its liquefied gas passes through every day, Guardian said.
“Iran also has the opportunity to attack transport, with the final possibility of using mines, sinking vessels or issuing credible threats to closing the Hormuz Strait,” the report added.
According to the report, some Iranian politicians called to close the Hormuz. Although it could be disadvantageous for Trump’s administration, as this would cause oil price with an almost immediate inflation effect in the US before the congress elections next year, it could be unfavorable to Iran.
Attack on US military bases in the Middle East
Since the conflict between the Iranian terrorist group Houthis (based in Yemen) and Israel, after the attacks of 7 October in 2023, attacks on American forces in West Asia have become more common. They were attacked more than 150 times in Iraq, Syria, Jordan Au Yemeni coast.
Iranian Minister of Defense Aziz Nasirzadeh recently said that “all US bases are on our reach.”
In Iraq, the Air Base of Al-Assad, 150 miles west of Baghdad, thousands of American soldiers are located and in 2020 it was directly focused on the Iranian missile.
According to the report, the attacks of Iranian militias at the base continued from time to time from killing Qas Soleimani, most recently in August 2024. Another exposed base is the air base of Erbil in northern Iraq.

In Syria, the US now operates only the crew of Al-Tanf near the Jordanian and Iraqi borders. Tower 22 in Jordan, where three members of the US service were killed on the drone strike of January 2024, is also considered vulnerable, he said.
The most important US military bases in the Middle East include: Al-ou šeid Air Base in Qatar, Naval Supporting Activity in Bahrain, Air base Al Dhafra in Sae and Ali Al-Salem and Camp Buehring in Kuwait.
Increasing their attacks on Israel
Iran could very easily increase his missile fire to Israel, as analysts emphasize. Iranian armed forces launched several attacks on Sunday and focused on more places in Israel, including Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, and said they relied on some of their most demanding missiles with a “devastating head”, AFP said.
Iran said he was responding to an American attack on her nuclear places. Since the beginning of the war, Iran has been shooting in Israel at the same time, but has arisen because Israel focuses on Tehran missile. The Islamic Republic can also maintain some weapons in reserve, the press agency reported.
Such steps could escalate into a wider and more lengthy conflict than President Trump, and evoke echoes “forever wars” that the US fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, who mocked “stupid” and promised to never turn into them.
“Iranians are seriously weakened and degraded in their military abilities,” said Aaron David Miller, a former Middle East negotiator for democratic and Republican administrations. “But they have a variety of asymmetric ways that can react … it doesn’t stop fast.”
Iran claimed that his nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes, and US intelligence agencies assessed that Tehran did not actively perform a bomb. But Trump and Israeli leaders claimed that Iran could quickly assemble a nuclear weapon, making it an immediate threat.
