Iran is deeply concerned about the escalating conflict in the Middle East, according to former commander of US forces in the region, Frank McKens.
Politico reports this.
According to him, Tehran found itself in a difficult situation after the failed missile attack against Israel that occurred a few days ago. He noted:
“Its main ally in the region, Hezbollah, has been decapitated and its own offensive capabilities are severely limited. Hezbollah is very limited. So Iran is in the background.”
The military expert also highlighted that Israel has many options in the current situation.
“They may choose something that is very escalatory, in terms of attacking the supreme leader himself, perhaps, or nuclear facilities or oil infrastructure, or they may be looking at military intelligence targets. They have a wide range of options, which they can choose from.” . “We can choose,” he said.
Earlier, Kursor reported that Tehran sent a warning to Gulf states, saying that using their airspace to attack Iran would lead to a “harsh reaction.” This statement was made by a senior Iranian official, emphasizing that such actions would be considered aggression by all countries in the region.
The warning comes amid Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi’s visit to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states to discuss security issues as well as Arab neutrality in the event of a possible conflict between Tehran and Israel.
