Event details

Iran's foreign minister said Friday that Tehran would hold accountable any country that assists the United States in attacks on Iran, saying participation in U.S. strike operations against Iran would make the supporting party liable to response under self-defence principles.

Context

If Iran applies explicit retaliation pressure to third states, Gulf and coalition partners could see expanded targeting risk, complicating U.S. operational freedom and increasing regional escalation uncertainty.
