The Iranian military command warned Wednesday that if the US strikes the Mount Makosh nuclear site, the entire region's US interests, allies, and supporting states would become targets for a powerful Iranian attack, according to a report by Abu Ali Express.
The Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters — the IRGC's engineering and construction arm — issued a warning early Wednesday morning, explicitly threatening that a US strike on the Mount Makosh nuclear facility would make all US interests and allies in the region legitimate targets. The statement is the most specific threat yet from the Iranian military command, following a series of escalating warnings over the past 24 hours.
The Zioneer reported on Tuesday night at 23:54 Jerusalem that the same command had warned that any US attack on Iranian nuclear facilities would be considered an "expansion of the war." Shortly after, at 00:04 Jerusalem, the Iran-aligned "Seal of the Prophets" command issued a similar threat, stating that all US interests and allies in the region would become targets. The initial warning came via Iran's Tasnim news agency at 23:54 Jerusalem, which reported that Tehran would strike American interests and allies if its vital facilities were attacked. The new statement from Khatam al-Anbiya goes further by specifically naming the Mount Makosh site, a target repeatedly threatened by President Trump.
The Zioneer has previously reported on President Trump's threats to strike Mount Makosh, including a statement early Tuesday morning in which he said the US would "reach the site" and warned Iran to prepare. On July 14, a senior Iranian official told CNN that American soldiers and their allies would pay the price for a strike on the site. The Iranian army spokesman also warned on July 16 that all regional infrastructure would become a target if the US strikes.
It remains unclear whether the new warning signals a change in operational readiness or is a rhetorical escalation. The statement did not provide specific details on the nature of the threatened attack. The standoff continues with no indication of diplomatic talks.
