U.S. military bases in the Middle East and its aircraft carriers are within reach of Iran’s improved missiles and could be targeted if the Islamic Republic is threatened, a Revolutionary Guards commander said, as tension with the Trump administration mounts over renewed sanctions.
“If they make a move, we will target them,” Amir Ali Hajizadeh, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps’ aerospace division, was quoted as saying late on Wednesday by the state-run Tasnim news agency. He singled out the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and Al Dhafra in the United Arab Emirates.
