US-Iran conflict
Regarding the protests taking place in Iran, America had said that 'if Tehran takes a tough stand on peaceful protesters, then America will come forward to help them.'
Following this threat from the US, Iran has shifted from defensive mode to action mode. Iran has clearly stated that it will respond to the rhetoric against its country not just with words but with military action.
What is a pre-emptive attack?
Preemptive strikes can also be called the right of self-defense. It means taking preemptive military action to prevent an attack by another country. A country engages in such attacks to weaken its potential attack.
What will happen if Iran attacks?
