Iran's army spokesman Brig. Gen. Mohammad Akraminia warned that Iran would launch broader and more destructive attacks if the US strikes Iranian infrastructure again. He said Iran would target 'all remaining infrastructure' across the region and repeated that US bases in Kuwait and Jordan had already been struck. He also warned neighboring countries that allowing American forces to launch attacks from their territory 'will not go unanswered.'
Iran's army spokesman, Brig. Gen. Mohammad Akraminia, issued a new threat on Thursday afternoon, warning that if the United States strikes Iranian infrastructure again, Iran will respond with 'broader and more destructive' attacks. The statement, which specifically threatened to target 'all remaining infrastructure' across the region and warned neighboring countries against hosting US forces, marks an escalation in rhetoric from the same official who earlier today warned that continued US attacks would expand the war to new arenas.
The earlier warning, reported at 09:55 Jerusalem time, stated that the war would spread to additional arenas if US attacks continued. The new statement goes further, naming US bases in Kuwait and Jordan as already struck and threatening a broader campaign.
The threats come amid a sustained period of US airstrikes on Iranian military targets. Over the past 24 hours, US forces have conducted strikes on Iranian infrastructure, prompting a series of warnings from Iranian officials. In recent days, other Iranian military figures have issued similar threats, including the War Headquarters chief warning of a 'much harder response' and the head of the armed forces warning of a 'harsh response' to President Trump's stance.
It remains unclear whether the US will conduct further strikes, and whether Iran will carry out the threatened attacks on bases in neighboring countries. The situation continues to develop.
