SUMMARY

Iran's Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh warned that if nuclear negotiations with the U.S. fail, Iran will target American bases in the region. He stated, "all U.S. bases are within our reach and we will boldly target them in host countries."

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened military action if a new nuclear deal isn't negotiated. Talks are expected to resume this week, although dates differ between the two sides. Iran plans to present a counter-proposal, while it insists its nuclear program is for civilian use.

Another contentious issue is Iran's missile program, with recent tests showing they won't accept limitations.
