Iran has issued a stark warning to Gulf nations, declaring that any assistance provided to the United States in their ongoing conflict would be interpreted as participating in American military operations. This threat was issued by Iran's armed forces chief of staff, Ali Abdollahi, on Wednesday. The warning comes in the wake of war between Iran and the United States, which erupted on February 28 following US-Israeli attacks on the Islamic republic.
In response, Iran retaliated with missile and drone strikes, including on US bases across the region. Abdollahi expressed concern that the presence of military aircraft, particularly refueling planes, at regional bases might indicate knowledge of host countries' intentions. He emphasized that the Gulf countries, which have stated they will not allow the US to use their territory against Iran, should be aware that Iran is fully cognizant of the situation.
The warning follows the redeployment of the USS George Washington aircraft carrier to the Middle East, replacing the USS Abraham Lincoln, due to reports of poor living conditions for its crew.
