US warning from Iranian Chief of General Staff to Gulf countries

Iranian Chief of General Staff, Major General Abdullah Abdullahi, warned the Gulf countries not to support possible US military activities against Iran.

According to the statement made by the General Staff, Abdullahi stated that although the countries on the southern coast of the Persian Gulf declared that they would not allow their lands to be used by the USA against Iran, the developments in the region were closely followed.

Abdullahi stated that it does not seem possible for the presence of a large number of US military aircraft, especially air refueling aircraft, at military bases in the region without the knowledge of the host countries.

Warning the regional countries about possible support to the USA, Abdullahi said, "Any assistance and facilitation towards the aggressive army of the USA means cooperation with the American military forces." he said.

Abdullahi emphasized that regional countries should not provide any support to the USA in possible military operations against Iran.
