Iran threatens US bases following alleged plans for new military strikes

On September 20, 2026, the Iranian military command, specifically the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters, issued a stern warning to the United States. Tehran claims to have received intelligence indicating that Washington, supported by certain regional allies, is preparing for new military strikes against Iran. This decision was allegedly finalized during a meeting held in a European country. In response, Iran stated that any such aggression would be met with continuous, painful, and unlimited attacks against American bases and interests across the Middle East.

Furthermore, the Iranian authorities explicitly warned neighboring countries that supporting any potential US-led operation would be viewed as direct participation in the conflict. Tehran asserts that the United States is attempting to mask its own strategic failures through these planned actions. No specific timeframe for the potential strikes was provided, but the warning emphasizes a commitment to a full-scale defensive military response without any restrictions should the perceived threat materialize.
