The Islamic Republic’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Sunday warned Washington against deploying troops to the Middle East to bolster Israel’s defenses, saying Tehran has “no red lines” in defending its interests.
The threat came amid reports that the U.S. is considering transferring a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) mobile anti-ballistic-missile battery. This would involve the deployment of U.S. troops to operate the system in Israel.
According to Tehran’s top diplomat, the Biden administration has sent a “record amount” of weapons to the IDF, and it is now “putting lives of its troops at risk by deploying them to operate U.S. missile systems in Israel.
“While we have made tremendous efforts in recent days to contain an all-out war in our region, I say it clearly that we have no red lines in defending our people and interests,” Araghchi tweeted on Sunday.
Israeli media reported over the weekend that Israel is coordinating with the White House on its retaliation to Iran’s Oct. 1 missile attack. Israel’s target list for its retaliatory attack against Iran will likely include military and energy infrastructure, but not nuclear facilities or assassinations, NBC News reported, citing U.S. officials.
Biden previously said that he would oppose an Israeli strike on Tehran’s nuclear and oil infrastructure, suggesting that such an attack would not be “proportional” to the 180 ballistic missiles that Iran fired at Israel.
The Iranian regime has informed the United States and some nations in the region that it will retaliate against an Israeli attack, an Iranian source with knowledge of diplomatic discussions told CNN.
However, sources said that Iran is “extremely nervous” about the strike and has been engaging in diplomatic efforts to try to reduce its severity.
In July, an Iranian source told Kuwait’s Al-Jarida daily that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps delivered a shipment of “qualitative weapons” to Tehran’s Lebanon-based Hezbollah terrorist proxy.
The arms shipment reportedly included bombs and missiles carrying electromagnetic pulse (EMP) warheads. The weapons could be used against U.S. and British troops coming to Israel’s aid, the source said.
Attacks on American troops by Iranian-backed militias have surged since Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel’s northwestern Negev. Militias targeted U.S. bases in Syria and Iraq well over 100 times between Oct. 7, 2023, and Jan. 2, 2024, killing three and wounding scores of U.S. soldiers. JNS

Red lines? Since when did these subhuman bloodthirsty savages respect red lines? It’s only Biden, the terrorist in hiding, that draws red lines for Israel.
Oh, I suspect some liberal intellect-impoverished commenters here might highlight that Biden has sent a record amount of arms to Israel. That’s as much a reflection on the status of America in the eyes of the world that there was no hesitation by the Islamists to launch terror. Trump brought peace to the world. Biden was spectator to the wars in various parts of the world, including the Middle East. At least he is sending arms. But the wars are his fault, for supporting Iran and its proxies to levels never imagined.
“But the wars are his fault, for supporting Iran and its proxies to levels never imagined.” You left out the State Dept., Clinton and Obama in your comment. They’re culpable as well. Parties are terrified of the economic impact of losing oil from the Middle East.
Ok where is the stinking UN for world peace.
The Persians can threaten israel
But they can’t take the heat
Big babies
Oh the un only cares for non jewish lives
Well jewish lives matter
funny how Tehran is now warning Washington when the US clearly has the superior military. But we have the Biden Harris admoin in office so no wonder they are cowering in fear.
