Brigadier General Ali Balali, adviser to the commander of the Aerospace Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, warned Washington that any nation allied with the United States could become a “legitimate target” in the event of new aggression against the Islamic Republic.
Balali specified that Iran’s response would not be limited to a specific geographic area and that its extent would depend on the nations that choose to accompany and coordinate with Washington. The new targets added to the Iranian list will be revealed when an eventual military response takes place, he said, stating that “when the enemy again commits the folly of imposing another war on us, those targets will be clear to the whole world.”

He also highlighted the growth of the missile base network spread throughout Iranian territory, asserting that the facilities, extending from northeast to northwest and southeast, have underground structures designed to maintain operations even under military attack.

Regarding Washington’s and Israel’s missile defenses, he maintained that those systems fail to stop all attacks, since some Iranian projectiles reach Mach 7, while the hypersonic Fattah, Iran’s first ballistic missile, reaches Mach 12, according to his statements.

I mean, it’s not really a warning, is it?
When in history has a country ignored one nation attacking it and stayed focus on another?
It’s like being held back by someone’s buddy while they punch you. You’re not gonna be like, “All good, other guy. You’re not involved in my being in pain.”
Or throwing punches at both of them and everyone like, “Whoah! What did that guy do to you?!”
