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.
