Iran Warns 6 Countries They Will Be Targeted If Aiding Any Potential US Attack
The Cradle reports…
A senior Iranian official said that Tehran has warned six countries they will face “severe consequences” if they support Washington in a military attack against the Islamic Republic, Reuters reported on 6 April.
“Iran has issued warnings to Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Turkey, and Bahrain that any support for a US attack on Iran, including the use of their airspace or territory by the US military during the attack, will be considered a hostile act,” the official stated while speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity.
The official stressed that such an action “would have severe consequences for those countries,” adding that “Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has placed the Iranian armed forces on high alert.”
Spokespersons for the governments of Iraq, Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry was quoted as saying it was unaware of the Iranian warning, but that such messages could be conveyed through other channels.
On 30 March, US President Donald Trump threatened Iran with bombing and secondary tariffs if Tehran did not come to an agreement with Washington over its nuclear program.
“If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing,” Trump said in a telephone interview. “It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before.”
The senior official speaking with Reuters added that Iran rejects US President Donald Trump’s demand for direct talks over its nuclear program. However, it wants to continue indirect negotiations through Oman, where indirect negotiations between the two countries have taken place in the past.
“Indirect talks offer a chance to evaluate Washington’s seriousness about a political solution with Iran,” said the official.
#Iran’s Chief of Staff: Our response to #Trump stressed we seek peace in the region & don’t pursue nuclear weapons. No direct talks, but indirect talks possible.

In addition to issuing verbal threats against Iran, Trump has ordered a major military build-up in the region, including dispatching a squadron of B-52 bombers to the US base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi confirmed on Sunday that “the conditions for resuming talks between Tehran and Washington regarding Iran’s nuclear program are based on the principle of trust between the two countries,” he said.
“We are ready to continue dialogue regarding our nuclear program and the lifting of sanctions against Iran, based on the logic of confidence-building,” Araghchi said in statements reported by Iran’s Fars News Agency.
Following Trump’s threat, Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the Aerospace Division of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), directly threatened US bases in West Asia.
“The Americans have around ten military bases in the region – at least near Iran – and 50,000 troops,” Hajizadeh told Iranian state TV on Monday….
“It’s like they’re sitting in a glass house. And when you’re in a glass house, you don’t throw stones at others”….
