Khatam-al Anbia Headquarters Chief warns US allies risk war

• Iranian commander says countries shielding US will "burn."
• Accuses US of escalating regional conflict.
• Urges Muslim states to reconsider ties with Washington.

Major General Ali Abdollahi, Commander of Iran's Central Khatam-al Anbia Headquarters, issued a warning to regional nations on Saturday, declaring that any country allowing itself to be used as a protective shield for the United States will "burn in the fires of war."

In a statement delivered at the headquarters, Abdollahi accused Washington of rapidly accelerating a path toward a widespread regional war as part of a strategy aimed at expanding illegitimate control over the Middle East.

'US exploiting regional resources to protect military'

General Abdollahi stated that recent conflict proved the US would stop at no destruction to achieve its objectives against Iran.

He warned regional Muslim nations that Washington is leveraging their capital, strategic resources, and vital infrastructure as a defensive buffer for its military while strengthening the security and war efforts of what he called the "Zionist regime."

He further asserted that the military balance in the region has fundamentally shifted, claiming that US inability to achieve its aggressive goals against Iran has forced American and Israeli forces to operate from behind the shelter of regional Muslim states, effectively imposing the costs of war onto local governments.

Concluding his statement, Abdollahi called on regional governments to exercise foresight regarding US actions and urgently reconsider their ongoing cooperation with Washington, reiterating that remaining aligned with US military operations carries severe consequences.
