Iran will target regional bases of any country that defends Israel, senior Iranian official tells CNN

Iran will intensify its attacks on Israel and target the regional bases of any country that tries to defend it, a senior Iranian official told CNN on Friday.

“Iran reserves the right – under international law – to respond decisively to this regime,” the official said.
“Any country that attempts to defend the regime against Iran’s operations will, in turn, see its regional bases and positions become new targets,” the official said.
Earlier Friday, US and Israeli sources told CNN the US military had helped to intercept Iranian missiles launched against Israel. One Israeli source told CNN other countries in the region had also supported Israeli air defenses.
