# Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned of a forceful retaliation if the United States or its allies bomb the Islamic republic, following a threat by president Donald Trump. He threatened a strong counterattack in a speech on Eid al-Fitr, the holiday marking the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. In an interview on Saturday, Trump said “there will be bombing” if Iran does not agree to a deal to curb its nuclear programme.
