Iran's armed forces' spokesman Ebrahim Zolfaqari said in a video that the attack by United States on its nuclear base has expanded the scope of legitimate targets for Iran's armed forces.

"Mr Trump, the gambler, you may start this war, but we will be the ones to end it," Zolfaqari said in English at the end of his recorded statement.

After the attacks, on Monday, Trump claimed that "monumental damage was done to all nuclear sites in Iran".

"The biggest damage took place far below ground level. Bullseye!!!" he wrote on his Truth Social platform.

Trump earlier called on Iran to forgo any retaliation and said the government "must now make peace" or "future attacks would be far greater and a lot easier."
