Iranian foreign minister on threats to U.S. personnel in Middle East #shorts

[0:00]There are 40,000 American personnel in the Middle East right now. In Iran's letter to the U.N. Security Council, you seem to threaten them because you said America will bear full responsibility. You said you don't want war. But if that's what happens, all bases, facilities, and assets of the hostile force in the region will be "legitimate targets." Are you saying Iran will hit U.S. bases in the Gulf, or will you also bomb the Gulf countries that are your neighbors? Well, I'm not going to say what we are going to do exactly. Obviously, we defend ourselves. If the U.S. attacks us, then we have every right to defend ourselves. If the U.S. attacks us, that is the act of aggression. What we do in response is the act of self-defense, and it is justifiable and legitimate. So, our missiles cannot hit American soil. So, obviously, we have to do something else. We have to hit, you know, the Americans' base in the region. That is a fact. I am a diplomat. I'm not supposed to talk about, you know, our military plans. But what can I say is that why we should go for war when there is every possibility for a peaceful solution?
