Iran seems particularly concerned about the U.S. deploying the THAAD anti-ballistic missile advanced air defense system to Israel.
As Iran girds for an expected Israeli retaliatory strike following Tehran’s unprecedented launch of some 200 ballistic missiles at the Jewish State, an Iranian official warned Washington against helping defend Israel.
“The US has been delivering record amount of arms to Israel. It is now also putting lives of its troops at risk by deploying them to operate US missile systems in Israel,” wrote Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on his official X account on Sunday.
“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,” he added.
