Iran warns of consequences for nations hosting U.S. bases used in aggression

Iran has issued stern warnings against escalating U.S. economic sanctions and military pressure. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei stated that Iran will not accept war-ending conditions dictated by aggressive parties and remains determined to defend its sovereignty.

Tehran warned that any nation providing bases, equipment, or facilities to the United States or Israel for military operations against Iran could face consequences. Baghaei specifically noted reports of Bulgarian aircraft being used for such purposes. The Iranian government also asserted its right to target the origin of any aggression.

Amidst a severe domestic economic crisis characterized by high inflation and a devaluing rial, Iranian officials have warned of expanding the battlefield. This includes threats to disrupt oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz and potential strikes on U.S. interests if military threats continue. The conflict, which has lasted six months, follows a period of intense military exchanges and a lapsed memorandum of understanding regarding navigation freedom.
