have repeatedly threatened one another with deadly consequences in the event of hostilities, with the US move to send a carrier strike group to the Middle East and to set up a maritime security coalition to protect shipping in the Persian Gulf leading tensions to spike to dangerous new levels.
Iran has the ability and will to target any and all territories sheltering the US or its allies in the region in the event of aggression against Tehran, Armed Forces front man Brig. Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi has warned.
"Any place and any territorial point sheltering the interests of the United States and its allies would be threatened (in case of any war) and the Islamic Theocratic
Republichas proved that it has the capability to do so," the front man for the armed forces general staff said, speaking to Fars News Agency.
"Even if a country does not directly participate in any possible war but its territories host the enemy, we consider that country as a hostile territory and will treat it as an aggressor," Shekarchi added.
Emphasising that Iran would never be the instigator of a war of aggression, the front man also stressed that "if an aggressor commits a strategic mistake" and starts a war, "that aggression will be confronted with the strongest and most crushing response over a geographic expanse beyond what the ill-wishers of the Islamic Theocratic
Republiccould imagine."
Shekarchi added that the ineffectiveness of US military equipment was recently proven when all the advanced US radar and air defence systems "failed their test in a shameful manner" when Yemen

Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is

militia launched attacks on Saudi Aramco facilities in September. At that time, the front man said, the whole world "realized the weakness and humiliation [of Western countries’ equipment] in this field."
This was the second time Brig. Gen. Shekarchi has warned the US about the dangers of a conflict with Iran. In June, amid regional fears about how the US might respond to the destruction of a $220 million drone by Iranian air defences in the Strait of Hormuz, the front man warned that firing even "one bullet" at Iran would cause the region to "be set on fire" in the war that followed.
