The Iran-aligned 'Seal of the Prophets' command warned that if the United States carries out its threats to strike Iranian infrastructure, it will strike all infrastructure in the region, according to a statement from the group.
The Iran-aligned 'Seal of the Prophets' command, a unified military headquarters, warned Thursday morning that if the United States carries out its threats to strike Iranian infrastructure, it will retaliate by striking all infrastructure in the region. The statement was published by the group via an affiliated channel.
The warning is the latest in a series of ultimatums from Tehran and its proxies as tensions with the US escalate. As The Zioneer has reported, earlier this week Iran warned mediators it would 'plunge the whole region into darkness' if its energy facilities are attacked. Iran has also threatened to target US bases in the region and to strike any state that enables attacks on Iran. The US has conducted multiple nights of strikes on Iranian military targets in recent weeks, prompting a cycle of threats and counter-threats.
The 'Seal of the Prophets' command has previously threatened escalation against Israel, but this statement is explicitly directed at the US. The credibility of the threat remains unclear, with no independent verification of the group's capabilities to carry out such a wide-scale attack.
