Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei stated Sunday evening that any country that cooperates with or assists the United States in attacking Iran will face Iran's right to self-defense, and that providing bases or military and logistical facilities to the attacking side will classify that country as part of the attackers.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei issued the threat on Sunday evening, warning that Iran would exercise its right to self-defense against any country that provides military or logistical support to a US-led attack on Iran. Baqaei specifically stated that providing bases or facilities to the attacking side would classify that country as a participant in the aggression.
The warning is the latest in a series of similar statements by Iranian officials in recent weeks, as The Zioneer has previously reported on similar threats from Baqaei and other Iranian military and diplomatic figures. The remarks come amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States, with ongoing diplomatic efforts and military posturing in the region. No specific country was named in the statement, but the warning appears to target Gulf states and other regional actors that host US military facilities.
