Iran indirectly warns US forces against operating in Israel

Iran warns the US to keep its military forces out of Israel.

The comments came in a post on X associated with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who helped reached Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.

In the message, Araghchi refers to the United States potentially sending one of its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense systems to Israel. Any move of one of the systems, known by the acronym THAAD, to Israel would involve the deployment of soldiers to operate the complex system.

“The US has been delivering record amount of arms to Israel,” the X message reads. “It is now also putting lives of its troops at risk by deploying them to operate US missile systems in Israel.”

It adds: “While we have made tremendous efforts in recent days to contain an all-out war in our region, I say it clearly that we have no red lines in defending our people and interests.”
