Iran has privately messaged the United States indicating that its retaliation against Israel has come to an end. This message was conveyed through the Swiss embassy, aligning with Iran's public statement on the matter. A senior administration official confirmed that Iran communicated its completion of the retaliation while the attacks were still ongoing.
Iran's attack on Israel was declared as a response to Israel's strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus. Iran stated that the issue can now be considered resolved following its retaliatory actions.
However, Iran's chief of staff, Mohammad Bagheri, issued a warning to both the United States and Israel regarding potential future attacks. Bagheri emphasized that Iran had sent a message through the Swiss embassy cautioning the US against collaborating with Israel in any further actions. He explicitly stated that if the US supports Israel, American bases will face security threats and will be met with consequences.
Bagheri's statement serves as a clear indication of Iran's stance on potential future escalations involving the US and Israel. The communication through diplomatic channels underscores the seriousness of Iran's warnings and intentions in response to perceived provocations.
