Iran has issued a stern warning regarding potential strikes on Israeli diplomatic facilities in response to any attacks on its own embassies, Report informs.
According to the Iranian Mehr News Agency, citing the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces, Tehran has formally designated Israeli diplomatic missions as military targets. "Any Israeli attack on Iranian embassies will make all Israeli embassies in the region a legitimate target for the Iranian armed forces," the official statement emphasized.
The warning comes amid a significant escalation in regional hostilities. On February 28, the United States and Israel launched joint military operations against Iran, which resulted in the deaths of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking officials. In the aftermath, Iran has initiated retaliatory strikes against targets in Israel, as well as locations in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Iraq, and Cyprus, where military bases of the U.S. and its allies are situated.
This development marks a critical point in Middle Eastern geopolitics, as the targeting of diplomatic missions represents a severe breach of international norms established under the Vienna Convention. The international community continues to monitor the situation closely as tensions between Tehran and the U.S.-Israeli alliance reach unprecedented levels, impacting regional stability and global energy markets.
