On June 22, 2025, Iranian Channel 3 TV hosts reacted to the U.S. bombing of Iran's nuclear sites. Host Mahdi Khanalizadeh stated that Iran has total control over all American military bases in the region and that all U.S. personnel, military or civilian, are now legitimate targets. He said that the U.S. President 'chose to receive the coffins of 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers in Washington,' declaring that the time has come for America to be defeated in the region. He added that the next phase will be the annihilation of U.S. bases and the killing of what he called 'terrorist American personnel' in the region.
Fellow host Amir-Hossein Tahmasebi said that Iran's boundaries had been violated by America and that this will have consequences. He warned that the minimum response would be the bulldozing of American bases in Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain, and Baghdad. He asserted that all U.S. forces and interests in the region are legitimate targets and within the range of Iran's precision missiles.
