“We can send our resources in and we can target the Iranian Revolutionary Guard targets, the missile sites, the nuclear sites, the different sites that are military installations throughout all of Iran.”
She added, “We’ll continue to attack the nuclear sites, the missile sites, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and those installations as we’ve been doing, even if the Americans do not join in.
Israel has confirmed on Thursday they have attacked three nuclear sites in Iran, Natanz, Isfahan and Bushehr with the later positioned on the Gulf Coast.
Moscow has said that Russian experts where working at the Bushehr nuclear facility which is Iran’s only working site.

Moscow has warned the US President not to interfere with military action in Iran as there has been suggestions Washington could bomb a nuclear facility using “bunker buster” bombs.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a news briefing it would be a very dangerous step if the US gets involved with military action against Iran.
Zakharova said, “We would like to especially warn Washington against military intervention in the situation, which would be an extremely dangerous step with truly unpredictable negative consequences.”
