Iran Issues Stern Warning to Persian Gulf Neighbors Over Potential US Base Cooperation
Iran has reportedly issued a warning to its neighbors in the Persian Gulf, cautioning them against permitting their territories to be used as a base for potential American military actions against the Islamic Republic. This comes in response to Trump’s recent rhetoric suggesting possible conflict.
Reports emerged on Wednesday from sections of the Arab media indicating that Iran has communicated, via Qatar, a warning to all Persian Gulf nations. The message cautions that these countries could be considered legitimate targets if an attack on Iran were to be launched from their territories by the United States.
In recent days, Trump has escalated his aggressive rhetoric toward Iran, repeatedly highlighting the issue of Iran’s nuclear program and accusing the nation of seeking to develop nuclear weapons.
Reports from American media indicate that despite Trump’s indication to consider direct military action against Iran at the behest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a significant number of his advisors are strongly opposed to such military engagements.
Iran has issued a warning to the United States, cautioning against any direct involvement in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.
In a video address delivered on Wednesday afternoon, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, declared that the Iranian nation would “firmly stand” in opposition to an imposed conflict.
In response to Trump’s latest comments on warfare, Ayatollah Khamenei issued a cautionary statement, addressing the potential implications of such rhetoric.
He emphasized that individuals with insight into Iran, its people, and its rich history refrain from using threatening rhetoric towards the nation, asserting that Iran will not capitulate.
U.S. military intervention will inevitably result in severe, irreversible repercussions, warned the source, urging Americans to grasp the gravity of the situation.
The United States maintains numerous military installations throughout the Persian Gulf region, including in nations such as Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.
In a display of military capability, Iran previously executed a precise strike on the US military base Ain al-Assad in Iraq. This operation occurred just days following the January 2020 assassination of General Qassem Soleimani, a prominent figure in anti-terror efforts, along with his associates.
