Iran Warns of Stern Action Against Countries Supporting US-Israeli Operations

Tehran has warned that any country providing military, naval or logistical support for US and Israeli military operations against Iran will be considered to have taken a hostile action. Iran also said countries providing such assistance would be held responsible as participants in the operations.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei issued the warning in a post on social media platform X on Thursday (November 12). Citing international law and the UN Charter, he urged other countries not to become involved in the US and Israeli military operations.
Baghaei said any direct or indirect involvement in military aggression or economic pressure against Iran would be considered a hostile and unlawful act. Such involvement includes deploying naval forces, supplying military equipment and logistical support, and sending troops.
He claimed that such actions would violate Article 2(4) of the UN Charter and fall under the definition of aggression outlined in UN General Assembly Resolution 3314.
Baghaei also said such assistance could not be justified even on grounds such as protecting freedom of navigation or combating piracy. According to him, no bilateral agreement or commitment with the United States gives any country the right to violate its obligations under international law.
At the beginning of his post, Baghaei quoted a Korean proverb: “A sparrow breaks its legs trying to fly after a stork.” He used the proverb to warn other countries against supporting US military operations.
Baghaei further said that any country participating in such military operations in any way would have to bear responsibility for the consequences.
Meanwhile, US President Mr. Donald Trump warned Iran about possible attacks on American officials in an interview with Salem News Channel on Thursday local time. Asked what would happen if Iran killed any US official, Mr. Trump replied, “They will not be alive.” He also said he would have no hesitation in using military force in such a situation.
Mr. Trump further claimed that the United States had full control over the Strait of Hormuz and that Iran’s governing system was collapsing.
