Iran warns: Any country that supplies Israel with arms is a legitimate target
Iranian Armed Forces Spokesman was quoted as that 'any country that is sending military equipment to Israel is considered as complicit in the aggression and a legitimate target for us'
The spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbia Headquarters, affiliated with the Iranian Armed Forces, stated in a televised speech that, 'Based on the intelligence of the Iranian Armed Forces, the aggressive Zionist regime—despite possessing the most modern and expensive air defense systems in the world, and with comprehensive support from the United States—has lost a significant portion of its radar and defensive capabilities as a result of the effective and painful strikes launched by the Iranian Armed Forces' missile and drone units, and is now facing a shortage of ammunition and military equipment.'
He noted, 'In this context, we warn that the sending of any military equipment or radar systems by sea or air by any country with the aim of supporting the Zionist regime will be considered as complicity in the aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran and will be considered a legitimate target for the Islamic Republic's Armed Forces.'
This comes as Israeli attacks on Iranian territory continue, while the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has responded to Israel with waves of missiles and drones since June 13.

Iranian FM Araghchi Affirms Retaliation Ongoing, Nuclear Facilities Off-Limits
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that the second phase of Operation True Promise 3 included a direct strike on the Israeli-occupied Haifa oil refinery, marking a continued and calculated response to recent Israeli aggression. Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, Araghchi confirmed that Iran's retaliatory actions are ongoing and grounded in international law. 'This is our legitimate right to defend ourselves against aggression,' he stated firmly. Precision Strikes Inside Occupied Territories Araghchi explained that Iran's retaliatory strikes have been focused strictly on military and strategic targets within the Zionist entity. He confirmed that military sites were struck Friday evening, underscoring Tehran's commitment to restraint and proportionality. 'We do not seek to expand the war—but we will not hesitate to defend our nation if one is imposed on us,' he said. Nuclear Sites Are a Red Line Reiterating Iran's long-standing position, Araghchi declared that any attack on Iranian nuclear facilities constitutes a 'serious violation' and a red line that will not be tolerated. He called on the international community to unequivocally condemn the targeting of peaceful nuclear infrastructure. Araghchi says Iran 'DOES NOT believe' Trump's claims he's not involved in Israeli strikes Adds America must state it 'explicitly and publicly': 'a private message is not sufficient' Expects US to 'explicitly distance itself from this conflict' — RT (@RT_com) June 15, 2025 Washington Must Accept Responsibility Turning to the role of the United States, Araghchi made clear that Iran holds Washington complicit in the Israeli aggression. 'We have documents confirming that US military bases in the region provided support for the Israeli attacks,' he revealed. He urged the US administration to clearly disavow the strike on Iran's nuclear facilities if it wishes to demonstrate good faith. 'The US must clarify its position and condemn the targeting of civilian infrastructure—particularly nuclear sites—if it seeks credibility in the eyes of the world,' Araghchi added. Diplomatic Track and Israeli Obstruction On the state of indirect talks with the United States, Araghchi stated that five rounds have already taken place, with a sixth round scheduled before the escalation. He noted that Iran had prepared a new proposal, which was to be presented at the upcoming session. FM Araghchi accused the Israeli enemy of actively working to sabotage diplomatic efforts. 'The Zionist regime has persistently attempted to derail negotiations, fearing any progress toward diplomatic resolution.' Diplomatic Meetings Planned Araghchi also announced plans for a closed-door meeting with ambassadors of various countries in Tehran to discuss the Israeli aggression and Iran's response. The session aims to brief the diplomatic community on Tehran's position and the legal framework behind its actions. The Israeli occupation launched an unprecedented attack on Iran early Friday, striking sites in Tehran and several other provinces. In response, Iran initiated Operation True Promise 3, targeting key Israeli military and industrial centers. The operation, which included missile strikes on the occupied cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa, has reinforced Iran's message: any assault on its sovereignty will be met with lawful, measured, and unwavering resistance.

Israel-Iran War Day 10 updates
US President Donald Trump on Saturday said that a 'very successful attack' on three nuclear sites in Iran had been successfully carried out, including at Fordow. In a posting on Truth Social, Trump added, 'All planes are safely on their way home' and he congratulated 'our great American Warriors.' here are the most recent developments Iran's foreign ministry said the US attacks Sunday on nuclear facilities showed that Washington 'will stop at no illegality or crime' to support Israel. 'It has now become abundantly clear to all that the very regime which enjoys permanent membership in the Security Council is beholden to no principle or morality and will stop at no illegality or crime to serve the aims of a genocidal, occupying regime,' the ministry said in a statement, referring to the United States and Israel respectively. More personnel from the United States diplomatic mission departed Iraq over the weekend as part of ongoing efforts to reduce embassy staffing amid 'regional tensions', a US official said Sunday after Washington attacked Iranian nuclear sites. 'As part of our ongoing effort to streamline operations, additional personnel departed Iraq on June 21 and 22,' the US official told AFP. Iraq warned on Sunday that the US attacks on its neighbour Iran's nuclear facilities threaten peace and stability in the Middle East. Iraq 'expresses its deep concern and strong condemnation of the targeting of nuclear facilities' in Iran, government spokesperson Basim Alawadi said. 'This military escalation constitutes a grave threat to peace and security in the Middle East and poses serious risks to regional stability,' he added The US has changed the course of the conflict . Will this be the end of the war? PM Netanyahu has spent much of the last 15 years attempting to persuade his American allies that only military action (and only American munitions) could destroy Iran's nuclear weapons programme. Throughout this conflict, which began just 10 days ago, Israel's government and military have insisted that Israel had the capacity to deal with the Iranian threat on its own. But it was no secret that only America possessed the massive ordnance capable of dealing with the strongest levels of protection around Iran's nuclear facilities, particularly at Fordo, built deep inside a mountain . If the nuclear sites bombed last night are now indeed out of use then Israel's prime minister will be able to declare his main war aim complete, perhaps bringing this conflict closer to an end.
