In a post on X, they said, “Information received by the Tehran Times indicates that Iran's missiles are loaded onto launchers in all underground missile cities and are ready for launch. Opening the Pandora's box will come at a heavy cost for the U.S. government and its allies.”

Donald Trump's warning to Iran
In an interview with NBC News on Sunday, Donald Trump said there would be bombings on Iran if they didn't reach an agreement with the US over Tehran's nuclear program.
He added that he might impose secondary tariffs on Iran if it didn't make a deal with the United States.
"If they don't make a deal, there will be bombing. But there's a chance that if they don't make a deal, I will do secondary tariffs on them like I did four years ago," he told NBC News.
During his first term in office as President, Trump had withdrawn the country from the nuclear deal with Iran.
The previous deal with Iran had placed strict limits on their nuclear activities in exchange for easing of US sanctions. After the deal ended, Iran surpassed the agreed limits in its uranium enrichment program.
