Iran is capable of hitting US military forces around the world if attacked, Russia’s Interfax news agency quoted the Iranian ambassador to Moscow as saying on Wednesday.
The US has imposed sanctions, targeting Iran’s central bank and giving US banks new powers to freeze Iranian government assets aimed at forcing the Islamic Republic to scrap sensitive nuclear work.
Iranian ambassador, Seyyed Mahmoud-Reza Sajjadi, told a news conference in Moscow that the US would be making a mistake if it carried out a military strike on Iran.
