General Majid Mousavi, aerospace chief for the Revolutionary Guard, said in comments on Iranian media it would be a mistake to carry out more “aggression” against Iran.

He also said the Gulf region’s oil facilities would be harmed if neighbouring countries allow the United States to carry out attacks, The Caspian Post reports, citing Al Jazeera.

“If southern neighbours allow the enemy to use their facilities to attack Iran, they should say goodbye to oil production in the Middle East region,” said Mousavi.

The US has bases and troops in several countries across the Gulf.
