*Tension in Washington as security increase around White House
Moments after it launched initial response in form of missile attacks against two bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq, the Islamic Republic of Iran has followed up with a threat that it will show no disdain in launching it’s long range missiles which will touch down right on American soil.
This is even as Hezbollah also threatens to hit Israel if US retaliates Tuesday night attack by Iran, according Tasnim news agency.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in its Telegram channel that, in the event Iranian soil is bombed, it will target the cities of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Haifa, Israel, in the third wave of operations.
In its Telegram channel, Iranian Revolutionary Guard says the “Pentagon reports that the US will respond to Iran’s attacks.”
IRGC then says in a footnote, “This time we will respond to you in America”.
Security has been increased around the grounds of the White House tonight in light of the current tensions with Iran, a law enforcement official said.
A US Secret Service official declined to comment, passing along a statement released by the agency, saying it “continually assesses the threat environment surrounding all protectees.”
USSS officers with assault rifles were spotted at checkpoints near the White House.
