Tehran (ANN)- In recent at last 48 hours, there has been increasing talk of the American plan in Iran, the most difficult question is if the United States attacks, what will Iran do, what are its plans.
However, what may come from the American attack and its results are unpredictable, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran, Abbas Araqchi, spoke to Qatari Al Jazeera TV.
Also. David Hearst, editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye, explained what would happen if the Maratkan attacked Iran.
Will Iran respond and attack US bases in the Iranian region or will it attack elsewhere.
Iran will strike U.S. bases in the Middle East if it is attacked by U.S. forces that have massed in the region, its foreign minister said on Saturday, insisting that this should not be seen as an attack on the countries hosting them.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi spoke to Qatari Al Jazeera TV a day after Tehran and Washington pledged to continue indirect nuclear talks following what both sides described as positive discussions on Friday in Oman.
David Hearst, editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye, says Donald Trump’s plan to force Iran to surrender its ballistic missiles or face war with the United States could prove to be the “costliest foreign policy mistake of his presidency.”

Hearst argues that Trump is wrong to believe that he can do to Iran what he did to Venezuela. Unlike Venezuela, who “had no regional cards to play” when the US seized Maduro, “Iran abound in them”, he says, pointing out the capabilities of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, “a force as large as the US Marine Corps.”
Hearst says Iran will not “fold like a pack of cards” when faced by Trump and argues that the US President’s plan to control the country’s oil flow is unrealistic.
“Does he imagine that the IRGC, the owner of an elaborate global infrastructure to circumvent international sanctions, would submit Iran’s annual budget to the US Treasury for approval? If so, he is dreaming.”
Hearst finally warns Trump against making what he says could be the “costliest foreign policy mistake of his presidency”, pointing out that Iran has a history of dealing with a “colonial bully” like Trump.
