Iran warns accommodations of US, Israeli commanders, officials deemed legitimate targets
The spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters of Iran has warned that the accommodations of US and Israeli military commanders and authorities would be deemed as legitimate targets in retaliation for the ongoing war of aggression against the Islamic Republic.
"In the wake of the hostile and terrorist actions of US and Zionist enemies and their targeting of residential buildings across various Iranian cities, the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in a retaliatory step, will target the accomodations of US and Zionist commanders and political figures throughout the region and in the occupied territories," Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaqari said in a statement issued on Sunday.
The warning came a few hours after the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters stated that any US ground invasion or attempt to occupy Iranian territory would end in devastating consequences, saying American forces would face destruction and even become "food for sharks" in the Persian Gulf.

Addressing the prospect of a ground invasion, Zolfaqari said Iranian forces have long been prepared for such a scenario and are waiting to respond.
He warned that any act of aggression or occupation would lead to outcomes including capture, fragmentation, and disappearance of invading forces.
He added that US commanders and soldiers would ultimately become "food for sharks in the Persian Gulf", emphasizing the severity of the consequences.
The United States and Israel initiated a large-scale and unprovoked aggression against Iran after the assassination of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei along with several high-ranking military commanders and civilians on February 28.
The aggression has comprised a series of intensive strikes on both military installations and civilian facilities throughout Iran, leading to considerable loss of life and widespread damage to infrastructure.
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces carried out waves of retaliatory missile and drone operations against American bases across West Asia and Israeli positions in the occupied territories.
