The Iranian Armed Forces' Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters warned that Israeli fighter jet movements through the airspace of several neighboring countries en route to Iran constitute a dangerous step and a threat to the Islamic Republic. The statement comes as a new alert, following similar warnings from the Iranian army minutes earlier, and amid ongoing Israeli and US airstrikes on Iranian infrastructure.
The Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters — the supreme command coordinating Iran's armed forces — issued a statement on Friday afternoon describing the overflight of Israeli fighter jets through neighboring states' airspace toward Iran as a 'dangerous step and a threat to the Islamic Republic of Iran.' The warning, published in Hebrew and Arabic sources, did not specify the countries whose airspace was allegedly used, the number of aircraft, or what specific threat measures might follow. It echoes a near-identical warning issued by Iran's army at 10:13 Jerusalem, as first reported by The Zioneer. The repeated, high-level statements reflect Tehran's growing unease with the Israeli air campaign — ongoing since Wednesday — which has struck military and energy facilities across Iran. Notably, the Khatam al-Anbiya command has a history of issuing threats: on June 14, as The Zioneer reported, it warned that 'Dahieh crimes will not go unanswered' after Israeli strikes on Beirut. The current statement, while lacking operational detail, underscores that Iran views Israeli aerial penetration of regional airspace as a strategic red line.
