US President Donald Trump’s decision to launch direct strikes against Iranian nuclear sites has sparked a wave of anger in the country, with people on the streets of Tehran telling CNN they expect their country to strike back.

"There is no one dirtier than Trump. First, he gives us two weeks' time, but then after two days he strikes us," the man told CNN. Like other Iranians with whom CNN spoke, he preferred not to give his name for safety reasons.

Iran's military launched dozens of missiles into Israel on Saturday night after President Donald Trump ordered U.S. airstrikes against three Iranian nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. Trump and other world leaders have called on Iran to come to the negotiating table.
