Hours after US President Donald Trump warned Iran of severe bombing over nuclear talks, Iran responded by preparing its missiles for possible attacks. According to the Tehran Times, Iran’s military has positioned missiles in underground bunkers across the country, ready to strike US-linked targets worldwide.

On Sunday, Trump told NBC News that Iran would face unprecedented bombing if it refused to agree to US demands. "If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing like never before," he warned. Besides military threats, Trump also suggested he might reintroduce economic sanctions on Iran and its trade partners. He said a final decision on these tariffs would be made in the coming weeks, depending on how Tehran reacts.

According to the Tehran Times, Iran’s military has prepared missiles capable of striking US-linked targets worldwide. This move comes in response to President Donald Trump’s repeated threats of military action if Tehran does not agree to a new nuclear deal on his terms.

During his first term, Trump withdrew the US from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA), which had placed strict limits on Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. He has reiterated that while his administration remains open to negotiations, Iran must first prove its commitment to limiting its nuclear program before any agreement can be reached.

Iran’s newly elected President Masoud Pezeshkian, responding to Donald Trump’s remarks in a statement broadcast on state media, said that direct negotiations with the US are not an option. However, he confirmed that indirect discussions through Oman could continue to help address ongoing tensions.

He further said that Iran does not shy away from negotiations but pointed to past US actions as a source of mistrust. "The supreme leader has also backed indirect talks. It is their unfaithfulness that has created problems for us. They must prove they can be trusted in their decisions, and I hope this happens soon," Pezeshkian said, as quoted by AFP.
