Iran's state-run broadcaster issued a strong message directly targeting U.S. President Donald Trump following the United States' precision strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
According to The New York Times on the 21st (local time), a local state TV anchor said live on air, "Mr. Trump, you started this, so we will be the ones to finish it," expressing strong opposition to U.S. military actions.
During the broadcast, a large graphic targeting major U.S. military bases across the Middle East was shown alongside a caption reading 'U.S. bases within range of Iran.' The anchor stated, "The United States does not have a legitimate presence in this region," and "Their hegemony must now come to an end."
This is interpreted as Iran hinting at possible military retaliation through state media before making an official government statement.
