Reuters: Iran has warned regional states that it will launch attacks on American bases in the event it is attacked.

Tehran has warned its US allies in the Middle East that it will attack American bases on their territory in the event of an intervention from Washington, according to an Iranian official. This statement comes after President Trump promised "very tough measures" against Iran in the context of internal protests. Iranian officials have urged allies, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, to prevent an American attack. Additionally, contacts between Iranian and American officials have been suspended, reflecting rising tensions. While Trump has condemned the continuation of protests in Iran, Iranian authorities have accused the US and Israel of inciting violence. In recent days, Iran has reported a significant number of protesters killed and arrests, and the President of the Supreme Court has called for swift justice for those involved in the violence.
