Iran has issued a warning against all centers working with the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier in the Red Sea. According to Tasnim News Agency, the Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters stated that any facility assisting the carrier is considered a legitimate target.
A spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters said the presence of the USS Gerald Ford in the Red Sea poses a serious threat to Iran. He added that all centers working to provide logistical or operational support for the American carrier could face strikes by the Iranian Armed Forces.
The Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters operates under the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces. It is responsible for planning and coordinating military operations across different branches of Iran’s military. Officials emphasized that these measures are aimed at countering perceived threats from the U.S. presence in the region.
The warning comes amid heightened tensions following a large-scale military campaign launched by the U.S. and Israel against Iran. The campaign followed the assassination of Iran’s Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, and several senior military officials on February 28.
In retaliation, Iran has conducted operations targeting American and Israeli positions in regional bases. The Iranian Armed Forces have used missiles and drones to strike sites associated with the campaign, signaling a strong response to the attacks.
Experts say that the warning to all centers working with the USS Gerald Ford reflects Iran’s intent to assert its influence in the Red Sea. Analysts also caution that the situation may escalate if military and logistical operations continue without diplomatic intervention.
Authorities in the region continue to monitor developments closely, emphasizing the need for international cooperation to prevent further escalation.
