Army spokesman Brig. Gen. Mohammad Akraminia 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.'
The Zioneer has reported a series of escalating threats from Iran's army spokesman throughout Thursday. In his latest statement, delivered Thursday evening, Brig. Gen. Mohammad Akraminia reiterated that US bases in Kuwait and Jordan have already been struck and warned that any further US strikes on Iranian infrastructure would trigger broader and more destructive attacks targeting 'all remaining infrastructure' across the region. He also cautioned neighboring countries that allowing American forces to operate from their territory 'will not go unanswered.'
The Zioneer first reported the spokesman's warnings at 09:54 Jerusalem, in a series of statements that included threats of new arenas, the targeting of regional infrastructure, and the claim that US bases had already been struck. Later, at 16:19 Jerusalem, the spokesman said Iran has not yet revealed a significant portion of its military capabilities and warned of new conflict arenas. The current remarks, made at approximately 18:50 Jerusalem, represent a confirmation of the earlier claims.
The threats come amid a broader escalation between Iran and the United States. As The Zioneer has reported, the head of Iran's War Headquarters warned on June 11 of a 'much harder response' to any further attacks. On June 8, the Iranian army commander said any Israeli aggression would be US responsibility. On July 9, an Iranian military source threatened a 'massive' attack on US bases. And on July 15, Iranian officials said they would respond 'with full force' to any aggression. The Zioneer also reported on July 14 that Iran warned US bases are 'not safe.'
It remains unclear whether the US plans further strikes. The Iranian spokesman's claims about strikes on US bases in Kuwait and Jordan have not been independently verified, and no confirmation has been provided by US or allied sources.
