"Having declared his readiness to strike at 52 Iranian targets, Trump confirmed the forecast about the likelihood of a US missile war against Iran," the senator wrote on his Twitter page.
According to him, if Iran responds to this attack by striking at US military bases in the region, then the US authorities will be forced to expand military operations.
“And Trump will get his big war,” concluded Pushkov.
On January 3, the Pentagon confirmed that Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps General Kassem Suleimani was killed during an operation by the US Armed Forces.
In this regard, the Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei threatened to avenge the murder of the military leader.
In turn, Trump said that Washington will respond to Tehran with a “quick and very strong blow” to 52 Iranian targets in the event of an attack on Americans or American property. Iran later commented on this threat.
