Trump should recall the attack on the Al Udeid air base, which proved "Iran's will and capability to respond to any attack", Ali Shamkhani wrote in a post on X after Washington repeatedly refused to rule out new military action against Iran.
The strike on Al Udeid was in retaliation for US support for 'Israel's' war against the Islamic republic in June. Shamkhani, a former defence minister, was himself badly wounded by an 'Israeli' strike but survived.
