Iran's Revolutionary Guards have threatened to target US military sites throughout the Middle East if Iranian tanker vessels come under fire, according to Iranian media reports Saturday.
The threat represents an escalation in regional tensions as Washington continues awaiting Tehran's response to ongoing sanctions enforcement and reported attacks on Iranian shipping. The Guards' statement explicitly linked any defensive action to direct strikes against Iranian fuel transport vessels operating through contested waters.
US military assets across the region—including bases in Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq—would become targets under the Guards' stated retaliation doctrine. The warning arrives amid a broader pattern of tit-for-tat maritime incidents in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.
Iranian officials have previously accused the United States and its regional allies of coordinating attacks on Iranian oil exports. The threat underscores deepening military posturing between Washington and Tehran amid broader Middle East instability.
