TEHRAN: Iran is unfazed by US President Donald Trump's bomb threat. The Tehran Times reported that Iran is preparing underground missiles to retaliate if the US strikes them. Trump threatened to bomb Iran if an agreement is not reached on the nuclear development program. In addition, Trump had warned that he would impose a second round of tariffs. President Trump clarified this in a telephone interview with a national media.

The Tehran Times reported that Iran has set its missiles in ready-to-launch mode. These are missiles capable of defending against air strikes. Iran recently released footage of its underground missile arsenal. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard described the site as 'missile city'. The footage also showed Iranian troops trampling on the Israeli national flag.

'We do not avoid talks. It is the violations of promises that have caused us problems so far. ‘Let them prove they are trustworthy,’ Iranian President Masoud Peshmerga responded to Trump's threat. Washington responded to Iran by saying that the Trump administration's position is clear and that Iran cannot be allowed to develop a nuclear program. Western powers argue that Iran aims to build nuclear weapons through uranium enrichment. However, Iran explains that it is doing this for the energy needs of the public.
