Head of the Iranian Armed Forces General Staff, Lieutenant General Abdollahi:

To the countries in the south of the Persian Gulf that, in various statements, announce that they will not allow the United States to use their territory against Iran, they should be aware that nothing escapes our notice.

Most likely, these numbers of military aircraft—especially refueling tankers—do not enter regional bases without the host country’s knowledge.

We warn: any assistance or facilitation for the U.S. invading army will be considered participation with U.S. military forces.
