“To those who insist on ignoring the rationale behind our defensive strikes on the U.S. military bases/assets in the region: Missiles are being launched at Iran from residential areas in the territory of neighbouring countries, and U.S. fighters are using the airspace of neighbouring states to attack Iran, all putting regional security at risk,” Baqaei said in a post on his X account on Sunday evening.

The United States and Israel their war of aggression against Iran on February 28, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and top military commanders, despite indirect nuclear negotiations taking place between Tehran and Washington.

The two regimes have also killed more than 1,300 civilians, including children, and attacked non-military sites, among them schools and hospitals.

Within the framework of its legitimate response, the Iranian Armed Forces immediately initiated decisive missile and drone strikes against US bases in the region and targets in Israel.
