Iran 'will attack US bases in the Persian Gulf if Israel bombs its nuclear facilities'

Hasan Nasrallah, who has led Tehran's most powerful proxy group for 10 years, disclosed that Iranian officials were intent on dragging the United States into war if it fails to prevent Israel from taking military action.
"A decision has been taken to respond and the response will be very great," Mr Nasrallah told Al Mayadeen, a Beirut-based television station.
"The response will not just be inside the Israeli entity. American bases in the whole region could be Iranian targets. If Israel targets Iran, America bears responsibility."
The purported Iranian threat appears to be designed to prey on President Barack Obama's greatest fear that he could become entangled in a war not of his own choosing.
