Summary

  • Iran's Revolutionary Guards said no other US bases in the region would be safe if Washington repeats what it called aggression after reports of a strike on a US-linked air base in Jordan.
  • Iranian media quoted the IRGC warning the US against further Middle East attacks and invoking retaliation in kind: "If anyone attacks you, then attack him in the same way that he attacks you."
  • The threat sharpens tensions around US military sites across the region, with the Jordan base strike serving as the immediate trigger for Tehran's latest warning.
