Iran Urges People of Regional States to Report American Soldiers Whereabouts
Iranian Armed Forces Headquarters announced that Tehran will go after US soldiers and commanders who have escaped their bases in regional states following Iran’s attacks, calling on the people of countries in West Asia to report their hiding places.
Spokesman for the Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaqari said on Wednesday that US soldiers and commanders have been sheltering in various hideouts in the countries of the region since Iran annihilated many of their bases in those countries.“We ask the people of the region’s countries to report their whereabouts, and at the same time, for their own security, to demand the expulsion of Americans from the region,” he stated.
The US and Israel started a fresh round of aerial aggression on Iran in late February, some eight months after they carried out unprovoked assault on the country.The strikes led to the martyrdom of Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, and more than 1,300 people, including women and children, as well as military commanders.Iran began to swiftly and firmly retaliate against the raids by firing barrages of missiles and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on US bases in regional countries.
Zolfaqari said the US is desperate to hold negotiations with Iran to force an end to the current confrontation and to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway in the Persian Gulf which has been tightly controlled by Iran since the start of the US-Israeli war in late February.“Listen carefully. Just as desperate as you are to avoid a prolonged war, the resilience of our nation and the strength of our armed forces grow stronger with each passing moment,” he added.“The situation in the Strait will not return to what it was. Whatever we decide to happen will happen. With trust in God, the path is closed to the oppressors and their allies,” the spokesperson continued.The military official stated that Iran has a “clear, transparent, and explicit” rule for allowing transit through the Strait: that anyone associated with the enemies will have no right of passage and that the authority to grant passage permits rests solely with Iran.
