Tehran, June 22 (V7N) – Any country that supplies military equipment to Israel during the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict will be considered an aggressor against Iran and will become a legitimate target, warned the Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters (KCHQ), the operational command of Iran’s armed forces. The statement was issued on Saturday (June 21).

According to KCHQ, despite possessing one of the world’s most advanced and expensive missile defense systems, Israel has failed to counter Iranian drone and missile attacks effectively. Iran claims that Israel has lost a significant portion of its radar coverage and air defense infrastructure and is now facing shortages of ammunition and weaponry. The Iranian statement also accused the United States of fully backing Israel militarily.

The statement further warned that any military or radar equipment supplied to Israel by air or sea would make those countries “direct partners in the war of aggression against Iran,” and they would be treated as legitimate targets for Iranian military retaliation.

The conflict intensified on June 13 when Israel launched direct airstrikes on Iran, targeting nuclear facilities, military bases, and residential areas. More than 400 Iranians have reportedly been killed, including top military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians.

In retaliation, Iran launched Operation True Promise 3, carrying out 18 missile strikes on Israeli targets as of June 21.

The conflict escalated further with the United States launching attacks on three Iranian nuclear facilities, a move confirmed by US President Donald Trump via social media. Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have praised Trump’s actions, calling them “historic.”

However, Trump’s decision has sparked controversy at home. Many US politicians and citizens have expressed concern over unilateral military action without congressional approval, with anti-war protests erupting in several American cities carrying the slogan "No More War."

With the United States now directly involved in the Iran-Israel conflict and Iran’s armed forces issuing grave warnings, global tensions remain high. The international community is watching closely to see how Tehran will act on its threats and how the broader Middle East crisis will unfold in the coming days.
