Iranian parliament member Manosher Motaki told a regime-affiliated channel that Iran could launch ground operations and capture US bases in Iraq, Bahrain, or Kuwait, as reported by Israeli journalist Chananel Aviv. The threat follows a series of Iranian warnings against US military action.
Iranian parliament member Manosher Motaki on Sunday threatened that Iran could launch ground operations and seize US military bases in Iraq, Bahrain, or Kuwait, in a statement to a regime-affiliated channel. The remarks were reported by Israeli journalist Chananel Aviv.
"The Americans are issuing threats about ground operations, but they must understand that we also have the option for ground operations; we have the option to capture one of the US bases in Iraq, Bahrain, or Kuwait," Motaki said, according to the report.
The statement adds to a series of Iranian threats against US forces in the region over recent weeks. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar warnings from Iranian officials, including a senior IRGC commander threatening to take American prisoners and an Iranian lawmaker warning that all US bases are within range of Iranian drones. The new threat comes amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, though no specific US military action has been cited as a trigger for the remarks.
The claim is based on a single source and has not been independently verified. It remains unclear whether the statement reflects official Iranian policy or the lawmaker's personal position.
