Iran’s armed forces have issued a stern warning to neighboring Gulf states, declaring that offering any form of assistance or logistical support to US military operations will be interpreted by Tehran as direct participation in aggression against Iran.
According to statements reported by Agence France-Presse (AFP) citing the Mehr news agency, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Ali Abdollahi emphasized that any military facilitation granted to American forces across Gulf territories would carry severe consequences.
The warning comes amid heightened military readiness and rising diplomatic friction between Washington and Tehran, placing significant strategic pressure on Gulf nations hosting US military assets and infrastructure. Iranian officials reaffirmed that regional cooperation with American armed forces jeopardizes regional stability and escalates defense risks across the Gulf corridor.
