TL;DR

Senior Iranian military officials warned that if Iran is attacked, the response will be immediate and target Israeli sites as well as US bases across the Middle East and the Gulf, which they consider legitimate military targets. Separately, the Israeli Air Force and Home Front Command raised their alert level, according to reports.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Iranian military officials have issued a fresh threat against both Israel and the United States, warning that any attack on Iran would trigger an immediate response targeting Israeli sites and US military bases across the Middle East and the Gulf region. The warning, reported Wednesday evening by an Israeli security channel, follows a series of escalating threats from Tehran over the past several days.

As The Zioneer reported hours earlier, an Iranian intelligence source warned that any country allowing its territory to be used for attacks on Tehran would itself be struck. A separate report noted Iranian forces are at full readiness and that any new American 'adventure' would be met with an immediate response. These statements come after an Israeli strike on an IRGC air base last week, which prompted vows of retaliation from IRGC commanders.

The Israeli military and Home Front Command have raised their alert level, according to the same Israeli security reports cited by The Zioneer intake. The US has also raised the alert level at its bases in Gulf states to maximum, as The Zioneer reported on June 9.

The precise target sets and timelines remain unspecified in the available reporting. The threats are part of a pattern of steadily escalating rhetoric and readiness postures on all sides following the kinetic exchanges of the past week.
