Amid rising military tensions in the region, Iran has issued a direct warning regarding the transfer of weapons and military support to Israeli forces. On Saturday, the spokesperson for Iran’s armed forces declared that any shipment of military or radar equipment to Israel would be considered a legitimate military target.
Speaking to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, the spokesperson stated:
“We warn that the delivery of any military or radar equipment in support of the Zionist regime will be a legitimate target for the armed forces of the Islamic Republic.”
He added that Israel has already lost a significant portion of its radar and defence capabilities, and is currently suffering from shortages in ammunition and military equipment. He issued a stern warning that any country sending military aid—whether by sea or air—will be regarded as a direct participant in aggression against Iran, and its shipments will be treated accordingly.
This statement comes amid ongoing escalation following Israeli strikes on Iranian facilities. Since June 13, Israel, backed by the United States, has launched a broad offensive targeting Iranian nuclear sites, missile bases, as well as military commanders and nuclear scientists.
In response, Tehran launched ballistic missiles and drones aimed at Israeli targets within the occupied Palestinian territories, marking the most significant confrontation between the two powers to date.
Meanwhile, U.S. involvement in the conflict continues to stir global concern. According to two American officials speaking to Reuters, Washington is preparing to deploy B-2 bomber aircraft to Guam in the Pacific. While it’s unclear if this deployment is directly related to the Middle East escalation, it coincides with deliberations by then-President Donald Trump over whether the U.S. should actively support Israel’s offensive against Iran.
Israel, for its part, is seeking direct U.S. support in a potential strike on the Fordow nuclear facility—one of Iran’s most heavily fortified sites. Fordow is located in a tunnel beneath a mountain near the city of Qom, buried between 80 to 90 meters underground. Its location makes any military operation against it extraordinarily difficult, even with advanced bunker-busting technology.
To date, no country other than the United States possesses the technical capability to attempt a strike on Fordow. However, even among American military experts, there is scepticism regarding the feasibility of destroying the facility due to its depth and geological reinforcement, posing a major strategic dilemma for Washington.
As the region edges closer to a broader military confrontation, Iran has signalled that any logistical or military aid to Israel could widen the scope of the conflict, potentially drawing other nations into direct confrontation.
