Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Regarding Assistance to the Aggressive U.S. Military: Countries on the southern coast of the Persian Gulf, which issue various statements claiming they will not allow the United States to use their territories against Iran, should know that nothing escapes our attention. It is unlikely that such a number of military aircraft, especially refueling planes, would be present at regional bases without the knowledge of the host countries. We warn: Any assistance or facilitation provided to the aggressive U.S. military will be considered participation with the U.S. military forces. - Iranian media
