📡 Iran warns PGCC states on possible attacks, calls to clarify US claim of their complicity in war 📌 Tehran, IRNA — Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei calls on the regional bloc of Persian Gulf Arab countries and Jordan to officially explain the claim of the US Central Command (CENTCOM) about their direct participation in the American terror attacks against Iran. “If this American claim is merely a lie, then these states are duty-bound to officially and transparently refute it,” Baqaei said in a post on X late on Thursday. ​ Stating that CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper has explicitly said in a video that several Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC) members and Jordan participated in the attacks on Iran, he said these countries must specify their official stances. ​ Baqaei further noted that it would be wrong to raise a question to Iran, in the circumstance when the country exercises its legitimate and rightful self-defense by striking US military bases and assets stationed on the territories of these states. ​ Referring to retaliatory strikes on enemy positions, he said that Iran’s motives amount to nothing more than its own defense, which is in line with restoring security and stability for the entire region. ​ The spokesperson, emphasizing that the main source of insecurity and conflict in the region is the illegal US–Israeli actions against Iran, warned that any participation in this aggression, including by providing a platform for military operations, is considered an act of aggression and a violation of the principle of good neighborliness and the United Nations Charter. ​ Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman are the members of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council and host US military bases and facilities that are being used to target Iran. 📲 ​
