Iran warns of potential strikes on U.S. bases if nations assist aggression

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei stated on Monday that Iran will not accept war-ending conditions imposed by aggressive parties. Baghaei emphasized that Iran did not initiate the current conflict but is exercising its right to self-defense and remains determined to protect its sovereignty and territory without compromise.

Baghaei issued a warning to nations that allow their territory, military bases, or facilities to be used by the United States for aggressive actions against Iran, asserting that Tehran reserves the right to target the source and origin of such aggression. He noted that countries assisting in U.S. anti-Iran operations could face consequences.

Addressing economic and maritime tensions, Baghaei dismissed U.S. claims regarding the openness of the Strait of Hormuz and the daily passage of millions of barrels of oil as psychological and media warfare. He also criticized Washington’s newly announced economic operations against Iran, stating that Tehran will utilize multilateral capacities to counter U.S. sanctions, which he characterized as an attack on national sovereignty and free trade.
