The head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic warned Gulf countries about providing help to the U.S. Army and said that “nothing is hidden from our eyes.”

Ali Abdollahi said that explaining the presence of so many military aircraft—especially refueling aircraft—at regional bases without the knowledge of the host countries would be difficult.

He said: “We issue a warning: any assistance and facilitation for the invading U.S. Army is tantamount to participating with American military forces.”

In recent months, the Islamic Republic has carried out multiple attacks on Arab countries in the region on the pretext of hosting American forces.
