The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesman said that any country that supports the United States in a war against Iran will be a 'legitimate target' for the force, according to the source report. The threat follows a series of IRGC warnings against the US and its allies.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesman, in a statement reported by the source newssil on Saturday evening, reiterated that any country supporting the United States in a war against Iran would be a 'legitimate target.' The threat, issued at 23:30 Jerusalem, echoes earlier warnings but broadens the audience to a new outlet, following a series of escalating IRGC statements published earlier at 23:07 Jerusalem.
As The Zioneer reported, the IRGC's first warning at 23:07 stated that any country supporting the US would be a legitimate target. Within minutes, the spokesman explicitly named the UK, then expanded to Gulf states, citing American use of British airfields for B-1 bombers. The same spokesman later warned that Israel would be the main target if fighting resumes. The IRGC also indicated it views the current confrontation as a response to US aggression, not an all-out war.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the IRGC's combat readiness and its vow of immediate response to anticipated US strikes, as well as threats to strike US forces operating from Israel. These statements form part of a sustained rhetorical campaign without specific operational details.
The spokesman's latest statement provides no new specifics on timing or targets. It remains unclear whether this represents a coordinated escalation or a continuation of the IRGC's media campaign.
