Iran's armed forces would respond decisively to any ground operation launched by United States forces in the region, according to a report carried by TASS citing an unnamed Iranian television channel.
The broadcaster reported that the Iranian military is continuously updating a database of potential targets tied to what it described as enemy forces. According to the report, this includes numerous sites across the region, among them military bases, that Iranian forces have identified as possible targets should hostilities escalate.
The report did not specify a particular trigger event prompting the statement, nor did it name specific US installations under surveillance. TASS's account attributes the claims directly to the unnamed Iranian TV channel without providing additional independent confirmation.
The statement comes amid continuing regional tensions involving Iran and the presence of US forces in the Middle East, a dynamic that has periodically produced rhetorical warnings from Iranian officials and state-aligned media regarding potential military confrontation.
No response from US officials to the Iranian broadcaster's claims was included in the report. The statement should be read within the broader context of recurring exchanges of warnings between Iran and the United States, which have not been independently verified beyond the original broadcast.
