According to CoinMeta, on August 31 local time, the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces issued a statement stating that Iran will not tolerate any act of aggression under the premise of respecting the sovereignty of neighboring countries and will respond more forcefully to such actions. The statement noted that although some countries in the region have officially declared that they will not allow aggressive U.S. forces to use their territory to attack Iran, and Iran has previously issued warnings, the U.S. military is still using the territories of these countries to attack some of Iran's military facilities. The statement emphasized that the U.S. military has no other choice but to withdraw from the region. Those who facilitate U.S. aggression against Iran should understand that all departments of the Iranian Armed Forces will fight side by side to crush and strike at any source of aggression.
