Iran threatens US bases and Israeli sites as conflict escalates

A senior official quoted by Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB said the country’s military response to Israeli attacks will intensify and expand to include American bases in the region, warning of broader confrontation in the days ahead.

The unnamed source, citing senior military commanders, said that "the war initiated by Israel’s attacks will spread in the coming days to all areas under Israeli occupation and US bases in the region.”

The source added that Iran’s retaliatory actions will not be limited to those already taken and that future strikes “will be painful and regrettable for the aggressors.”
