A senior Iranian official has warned that Iran will target military bases of any country that attempts to support Israel amid the ongoing military escalation in the region. The statement, reported by international media, marks a significant escalation in rhetoric following recent retaliatory strikes between Iran and Israel.
Tehran, citing its right under international law, said it views Israel’s latest attacks — including strikes on residential, military, and nuclear sites — as acts of aggression that justify a broader response. The Iranian official emphasized that any nation defending Israel will see its regional military assets become legitimate targets.

This statement follows Operation True Promise III, during which Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israeli targets in response to the killing of top Iranian commanders and nuclear scientists. The IRGC claimed that the strikes successfully breached Israel’s advanced air defense systems, though independent verification is pending.
The ongoing hostilities have triggered regional and international alarm, with growing fears of broader involvement from neighboring countries and Western allies with military presence in the Middle East.
Iran has vowed to intensify its response in the coming days, calling Israel’s actions a violation of international norms and declaring its readiness to escalate the conflict further if provoked.
