He said this was a war that “could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East”, but it “didn’t, and never will”.
However, both Israel and Iran had yet to confirm or deny the development.
This development is coming shortly after Iran launched missiles at US military bases in Qatar and Iraq on Monday evening.
State TV called the attack a “powerful” response to recent American strikes on key nuclear sites.
“The operation of Iranian missiles against American bases located in Qatar and in Iraq has begun, and is called ‘Blessing of Victory’,” the official press agency IRNA said.
