The Iranian Armed Forces have prepared missiles following US President Donald Trump's threats to bomb the country if Tehran does not agree to a nuclear deal, Tehran Times reports.
The prepared missiles are capable of striking "US-related positions." A significant number of these missiles are ready for launch and are located in underground storage facilities, which are scattered across Iran.
US-Iran nuclear deal
In 2015, Iran, the USA, Russia, China, France, the UK, and Germany signed an agreement that limited Tehran's nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of sanctions. During his first term in office, Trump withdrew from the agreement and reinstated sanctions on Iran, leading to an escalation in relations between the two countries.
Today, during his second term, Trump is seeking a new nuclear agreement with Iran. According to media reports, the Republican recently sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, demanding that an agreement be reached within two months. Khamenei, in turn, rejected Washington's offer.
In a recent interview, Trump began threatening Iran with bombings if Tehran does not conclude a nuclear deal with the USA.
