They’ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them; now they will have to pay the price! ” His remarks came after overnight exchanges between Iranian and US forces that came after several days of fluctuating tensions in the region, during which Israel and Iran traded military strikes before pulling back.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said that it launched retaliatory attacks on 21 American military targets at US air and naval bases across the region.
