Iran warns Gulf states against assisting US

Iran's armed forces have warned Gulf states against providing assistance to the US military, saying such support would be considered participation in US military operations, The Times of Israel said, citing a statement by Ali Abdollahi, Chief of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces, according to Report.

"We warn that any assistance or support to the US armed forces will constitute participation in a US military operation. It seems unlikely that such a large number of military aircraft, especially tanker aircraft, could have been stationed at regional bases without the knowledge of the host countries," the chief of staff said.
