Amid ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel, an Iranian official has stated that Tehran will target countries in the region that support or defend Israel.
The senior Iranian official, whose name has not been disclosed, told international media that Iran will strike the bases of countries that, in its view, attempt to defend Israel.
The official told CNN: “Iran has the right, under international law, to respond to this regime [Israel].”
He further added: “Any country that tries to defend this regime against Iranian operations will, in turn, see its bases and centers in the region become new targets.”
Previously, Iran had also warned—implicitly referring to the United States—that any attack on Iran would result in strikes on military bases across the region.
