Iran has issued a stern warning to the United States regarding potential military actions involving American bases in the region. Iranian officials stated that if attacks are limited to military bases, missile warehouses, and drones, Iran would refrain from retaliation. However, the Foreign Ministry of Iran communicated an emergency message via a third country, specifically the Swiss Embassy, declaring that any American base utilized to refuel and support an Israeli attack would be considered a legitimate target for Iranian retaliatory strikes. Furthermore, Iran has conveyed through diplomatic channels, including communications with over ten countries hosting U.S. bases, that any attack originating from these bases would provoke a proportional response from Iran.
