Iran has publicly threatened to kill 50,000 U.S. soldiers stationed in the Middle East after recent strikes on its nuclear facilities. A broadcaster on state TV warned that U.S. troops “within Iran’s range” would be sent home “in coffins” — a stark escalation in Tehran’s rhetoric. The warning follows U.S. B-2 bomber raids on Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, which Iran views as direct acts of aggression. Iranian officials have vowed a “harsh blow” and indicated all U.S. military bases in the region are now “legitimate targets”. The U.S. has responded with heightened troop and cyberdefenses across Gulf bases.
