The Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the operational headquarters of the Iranian army, warned on July 21 that the United States should not attack any nuclear site in the Islamic Republic.
“It is made clear that should the invading and terrorist forces of that nation take such a step, it will be regarded as an escalation of conflict across the region,” it said in a statement quoted by the state-run IRNA news agency.
“In that event, all US assets, along with those of its allies and backers, will be subject to a decisive strike by the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Armed Forces,” the statement added.
The warning came shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to hit any nuclear site the Iranian regime seeks to reconstitute.
“How about these people? They’re in this because of nuclear weapons, and they’re trying to possibly reconstitute a site? We’ll hit that site. Any site where they’re even thinking about nuclear – we’ll be hitting it very, very powerfully,” Trump said during a meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the White House.
Earlier that day, the Wall Street Journal reported on Israeli intelligence assessments indicating that Iran relocated thousands of uranium enrichment centrifuges to a deep underground facility inside Pickaxe Mountain last year, following the 12-day war with Israel. The report noted that these findings were shared with the U.S.
Pickaxe Mountain is the nickname analysts have given to Kolang Gaz La, a mountain located just east of Iran’s Natanz nuclear complex in Isfahan province, believed to house a deeply buried tunnel network built to protect nuclear infrastructure from potential strikes.
The recent warning from Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters leaves little doubt that Iran will respond to any attack on Pickaxe Mountain or any other nuclear site.
Still, the U.S. will very likely carry out such an attack, especially as Israel appears to be pushing for one. This could turn the ongoing limited confrontation into a full-blown war.

american terrorists tried it once already and failed, had to get rescued
was any one really rescued at all ? media rescue slop is not reliable
like i’ve said on this site more than a few times, i would have hoped after the overthrow of the legitimate government of viktor yanukovitch in 2014 russia would have been the leader of the free world by announcing the russian federation’s full departure from the un fun h0u$e stating the reason why it was necessary for russia to now leave the lies of the international organization as the antithesis of peace with of course iran and the prc joining
… a new location for the international rule of law east, it’s a guarantee that russia would have been the pied piper for rest of the members under the yoke of the u.$. as mc to that organization… and the russian federation leadership would have seen a new un under their guidance to the briics. putin has not only been a disappointment on many levels but a disaster in missing the critical opportunity and timing for that transition.
russia needs to establish alternative institutions right across the board. it can do this easily with its partners. the un, iaea, opcw, icc, ioc, fifa, everything else are hopelessly politicised, corrupt and compromised. they serve exclusively neocon and zionist interests. the friendship games instead of the olympic games, for example.
i stopped reading your comment when you conflated russia’s partners with the un. when do you acknowledge the betrayal of that organization’s charter when some members are more equal than others?… ps i had more to say but i was censored on this “russian” site yet again…
you should have kept reading…
tell that to 70% of the eastern donbas that both perished and fled in the last 10 years?…. while poutine was still selling the eu oil and gas after genocide of ethnic genocide in the eastern donbas and the destruction of the nordstream?… and still russia remains as a un “member”?!!!
why shouldn’t russia, china, the biggest countries on earth, and other countries, set up alternatives to the un, ioc? like the friendship games instead of the olympics? or the league of sovereign states instead of the un?
s-f won’t let me post my .comment -but you agree with what i said at the outset
who ever can set and follow laws that create value for mankind. should win
the jooz tell chump to jump and he asks how high. then gets down on his knees and starts grovelling.. what a loser.
when the zionists can choose between 2 option, they will always go for the wrong one.
“intelligence assessments” are simply a phrase for unproven guesswork based on incomplete information.
…or complete bullshit lies from the git-go.
it would be nice if iran would drop a couple of those high altitude bombers. likely be b2’s. it would be just too bad if iran could hit them. intercept with planes, then fire russian r37’s vympel. very possible.
how any world leader can meet with the supreme retard of the dumbest nation on earth and still be taken seriously is astonishing
the last nuclear snatch didn’t go well for us forces because the intelligence supplied by the isreali apartheid regime was woefully inaccurate. perhaps the usadmin will use their moab’s for the job? hit the aircraft bringing those in and one will have the moa firework displays.poor intelligence from the isreali apartheid regime is making the us look bad.
chumpo has just asked congress for another eighty-seven billion bucks. his “little excursion” into iran is getting a bit pricey.
the eye-ranians are going on a big amerikunt and joo hunt! any country hosting amerikunt bases turns itself into a big missile magnet! even the jooz don’t want amerikunt bases on their territory now! heheheheh
when iran issues warnings it has clear intention. the moral high ground is established. globalist media slop is without morals and devoid of reality.
