The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned that countries hosting American military forces should expect 'proportional responses' if their territory is used for attacks on Iran, N12 reported. The statement follows an earlier IRGC warning today that countries aiding the US must be forced to protect their own citizens.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a new warning on Saturday morning, stating that countries hosting American military forces should expect a 'proportional response' if their territory is used as a launchpad for attacks on Iran. The statement was reported by N12's foreign desk.
The threat comes just 15 minutes after an earlier IRGC warning that countries assisting the United States should be forced to protect their own citizens—a statement The Zioneer also covered this morning. The back-to-back warnings mark an escalation in IRGC rhetoric, as the corps continues to signal that any US military action against Iran will have regional consequences.
The latest statement does not specify which countries are being warned, but the message appears aimed at US allies in the Middle East that host American bases or forces. The IRGC has repeatedly threatened to target US assets in the region if Washington attacks Iran.
