Iran’s Revolutionary Guards threaten US sites in Middle East if tankers come under fire

Revolutionary Guards issue warning as Trump awaits Iran's response to Washington's latest proposal for peace deal

Iran's Revolutionary Guards have threatened to target US sites in the Middle East if its tankers come under fire, Iranian media reported on Saturday, as Washington was left waiting for Tehran's response to its latest negotiating position.

Any attack on Iranian tankers and commercial vessels will result in a heavy attack on one of the American centres in the region and enemy ships," the force said, a day after US strikes on two Iranian tankers in the Gulf of Oman.
